I need to replace one of my indicator bulbs. A quick look on google didn't bring up anywhere in the uk to purchase them.
Can someone point me in the right direction of a bulb please.
The number on the bulb is W1157A

You can get them on ebay, I've just ordered up a box of 'em.

eBay. '1157 amber bulb'
Or the local motor factors should have an equivalent.

Am I missing something here but can you not simply paint your clear bulbs orange ...

mine were painted in 2 pack translucent orange....its lasted a few years.
or you can try art supplies type places
light bulb/glass bottle/stained glass window type paint
used by many market stall tat sellers to make lamps out of milk bottles etc
or draw flames on light bulbs
Its ART you know

yes I tried that one but looked very RED on the car and didn't fancy the MOT with that RED indicator, and the paint was orange.

I think the bulb that I'm replacing has been painted as its flaking off and for £6.00 id rather not have the hassle of finding paint & painting.
