FTO AUSTRALIA

quick questions.

will these fit in the fto's front indicators (by the fog lights)
are they road legal in aus? (maybe a stupid question but u never know with all these freaking rules etc..)

cheers guys

They look like the ones in there. Just watch out for the pins on the side of them. Some are directly opposite one another, some are offset. Got a feeling FTO ones were offset. I got the wrong ones, but a bit of brute force and ignorance made them fit

I had trouble finding different types. Guess they have made most of them illegal...
Tried all the usual auto shops and all they had were Narva Phantoms. These are chrome look, but have a pinkish-orangeish colour, more orange than pink, if all that makes sense. You don't notice much when it's installed, and when flashing gives a strong orange colour. Remember seeing them in blister packs, pair for $30!! Found a place that had big box of em individual which cost me about $18 for pair.

Happy baking

i'm pretty sure you'll need the 180 degree opposite pins...
coz i think the Narva Phantoms only come in 120 offset...
lol... i did the same as TCGPX and got the wrong ones too

just take one out and take a look before buying

Maybe I missed it but why have they made them illegal again?

slightly off topic here
(figured it'll fit in better here than the HID topic, and it's not worth it to start a new thread)

just to clear a few things up for ppl like me that cant tell the difference between a spanner and a nail gun.


top to bottom:
indicator, 180 degree opposite pins (how do i tell the size of the socket... u know what i mean? sorry i'm bad at this lol)
parkers
fog light (how do i take it out of the socket? i tried to pull on it a little, didnt move... too scared to keep trying lol, and what's the part number for it?) ...and is there anything i can do so they will match the HIDs? dont need to be any brighter just same colour)

Edit: just to centralise the info (for my own sake really lol), fog lights are H3s

This is why I don't gamble. My feeling was wrong
Not sure about the size of the base, I always just take one in with me. The wattage is something they look at though. It'll be printed on the base somewhere. I'll try the feeling thing again, 21W?

The entire part you have there is what you replace. The globe doesn't pull out.
They are H3 type. To match them up look for ones which quote you a colour rating. If you have 8000k HID, need to find 8000k coloured H3 bulbs. If you can find 8000k ones, let me know
