jub Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Hi all, I'm looking to change the bulbs all around the car, just to confirm: Front sidelights - 501 Main beam - H7 HID bulb - D2R 35w Front indicators (chrome) - 581 or T20? Rear indicators (chrome) - 581? Rear reverse - 382? Rear fog light - 382? (is it possible to get these in chrome but still have them shine red?)

Chris`I Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Front and rear indicators, reverse and fog are T20. I think the others are correct, but someone else will confirm Rear fog can be had off eBay in the form of an LED lamp which would mean if you remove the red tint or get a clear cluster it would all be silver/chrome. Do a search for "fog", it should turn up the links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they are definately T20 then these should be OK right? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Silver-Indicator- ... 3a4aecdafd Reverse light: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XENON-REVERSE-LED ... 3ef60276d9 Rear fog: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bulb-RED-T20-21W- ... 5d2680702b I'm thinking of changing the rear indicator covers too, is the stock rear foglight red because of the bulb or the red lens cover?

jub Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 So does anybody know? I kinda need to order them today so I can get them by Friday cos I've got someone fitting my rear parking sensors and it makes sense to do it all at once...

sparky370z Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 ok, to change the rear fogs you have to take the rear bumper off. the lens is the filter colour red so you have to buy these lamps!! http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trks ... Categories they takes ages to come through. like 3 weeks!! where in london are you as i have a spare one that you could use, but would need it replaced once yours have arrived. let me know mate. im in sutton. all of the other bulbs are fairly easy to do. whilst i had the bumper off i changed the indicator ones to silvertec ones as well. Sparky edit: the indicator lamps are T20's the ones u have put above will not fit. i am quite sure that they are all T20's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the rear indicator covers changed to these too: http://z-store.co.uk/index.cfm?fuseacti ... rentCat=35 Found these for the front and back indicators: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SUBARU-IMPREZA-SI ... 3a543df7c5 These for the rear rog bulb: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Bulb-RED-T20-21W- ... 5d2680702b Reverse: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/XENON-REVERSE-LED ... 3ef60276d9 I think these are all the right ones... :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 sorry i posted up the wrong lamps before these are the ones u need for the fog light http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2pcs-7440-7443-T2 ... 2c519d4874 the red one would do but when u have put that really nice lens on it will look like you got a strawberry chuppa chupp stuck in there. the one above is nice coz it is white and then glows red upon switching on. like the lenses though. bit pricy for what it is though!

Dont use those ones, the angle of the LED is all wrong and you wont pass the MOT. As the LEDs face straight out, the angle of them in the housing will point them out to the side of the car, not out the back. You need the ones JPWarden sells as these are all around the "bulb" so light up the reflector and bounce the light out the back. Go look at your car and see which way the bulb is pointing, you'll see what I mean. Beleive me, I've been there the ones posted above by JPWarden are the best. I have had loads of bulbs off him and these are regarded as the ones to have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
