Bumper light size

Post by nikhan »

Hey guys, as the topic name suggests (not so sure if that is the correct term). One of them bumper lights has blew and im thinkin of replacing them both with white globes. Anyone know the size of that bulb?? I know its a pain in the ass to change as there are 2 long screws which connects the whole light to the frame...zzZzzz

in that case....

Parkers/driving lights are a T10 Wedge bulb.
Foglight (if you've got them, some pre-facelifts don't) is a H3 bulb

The SMD chip type LED's are the whitest you'll get. Not the brightest, but the closest to HID white as you'll get.

Easy to change. 1 long screw, and push the pod out from behind. Can be a bit tough if it hasn't come out very often, but once you've done it a few times, pops in and out nicely. Others prefer to get underneath and change the bulb without removing the pod, but can't be arsed with that.
