Hey guys,

i have a R33 with a Aftermarket Front Bumper and i want to move my indicators as where they are now is not ideal / look out of place.

my idea is to rewire the parkers and make that the indicators and get a dual filament bulb for parkers / headlights.

my question is, can you get such a bulb for an r33 and if so where?

ill take a pic of my bumper today and upload tonight (as i'm at work) so you can see what i'm talking about.

Thanks in Advance,

Tim

Here is a pic of what the setup looks like now

you can see why i want to get rid of them little squares, just dont look right.

Maybe i can get a bulb that can be used for Low / High beam and the low beam would become the parker and parker becomes indicator..

anyone else have any input?

Cheers,

Tim

hence my idea :D

seems like thats my only option until that time comes around then ill just put the shitty indicators back on.

Unless someone knows of the bulb i need and knows where i can find one for a car (ie a 33) :P

Obe - I have that very same bumper!! Hehehe, My indicators were in my parkers (orange T10) but they just weren't bright enough. I recently installed rounds ones where you have those square ones. They look ok, but still outta place. I'm now looking at installing a larger indicator globe into the parker. I think its the way to go. Like craved said, shouldn't cause any issues.

Off topic for a sec - Does ur bumper scratch on everything? :P

my car isnt lowered that much, but it scrapes if you go 2 fast in obvious places :P

yea seems the way to go, i had round ones also but they were really old and yellow, looked aweful.

tried the square ones out but even with clean ones still look out of place :)

there is my weekend project :)

As an interesting point, I bought a pair of S2 headlights recently, and they have a single light for both high and low beam as well as built in indicators and parkers.

All factory mind you, apparently they're quite rare.

The globes are marked : H4U 12Volt 60/55W

They are def. dual filament globes.

Have you got any pictures of what the bulb holder looks like?

Wondering if the bulb holder could be purchased and retro-fitted into a standard Series II headlight assembly?

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
