Hey Ric, I thought this was the "What DID you do to your Kappa today" thread not the "what DIDN'T you do" thread :lol:

Glad you had a great time and arrived home safely :thumbs:

After searching for a month for a bulb for turn signal, I went ahead to Opel-Chevy dealership, they brought me a equivalent bulb according to their parts software from Chevy Epica iirc and of course that one didn't matched, they ordered two of them for me.

In whole Europe, they could find only 30 pieces only in one place in Germany, beware Opel GT owners, 3500 Opel GT sold in Europe and they have only 30 bulbs available.  :mad:

Now I have to wait another 2-3 weeks to bring them from Germany.  :barf:

I don't know Bob, they have different part # in their software, there is any diagram where I can point?
Is the turn signal bulb from front, the one on top of fog lights.
I can take pictures if that helps.

The Sylvania site says it's a 4157NA which from what I undersatand is compatable with the 3157.

Parking light
4157NA
W5WB

Front turn signal
4157NA
[...]
Daytime running light
4157NA
Something is weird, turn signal bulb from front is different than Parking Light or Daytime running light. Besides that, in Europe front turn light is amber and not clear like those from US ;)
Thank you Bob.

Nice going, Bobby! :thumbs:

Detailed mine on Friday and took it up to Jersey to the New Jersey Motorsports Park, hung out watching F1 Go karts and the track with the people racing their cars was right there behind the go kart track. Watched a yellow Vette and some loud ricer with a spoiler mix it up. Had lunch. Went downtown to the vintage car show. Ended with Starsky and Hutch at the Delsea Drive-in. Great day with everyone. :)
