Diadem Bulbs

[lkchris]

Have fitted clear front indicator lenses to my W124 but must acquire bulb holders with 120-degree pin offset in order to install amber bulbs.

I'm in USA and dealer cannot determine part number.

Can anyone provide part number or a source for this part?

Why not buy the bulbs without the 120-degree offset instead.

Do you have suggested source for Diadems so configured?

Why not replace the bulbs with ordinary amber bulbs????

Or the Osram metal coated one that shine amber + Phillips do the same. Can all get the LED cluster ones all with 180degree offset. What are Diadems BTW?

Sorry--"Diadem" is Osram's name for it's metal coated bulbs that shine amber--they only are made with 120-degree pin offsets. Yes, I purchased some without knowing that.

Yes Chris,
The Osram and Philips silver coated ones are type 581 (120degree)

You can get silver coated type 382 (180 degree) at:
http://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/indicators.htm

Or you can get ordinary amber ones 382(180degree)
http://www.beedspeed.com/bulbs.htm

These were the first two sites I looked on. I'm sure you can get them on a US site too.

Thanks for the tips--understanding diff between "581" and "382" code bulbs is a good start for me.

No problem, Chris. I didn't know till I researched it.
