Side bulb
« on: Jan 16, 2008, 06:09PM »
Alright il try to explain this the best i can,
I've got myself a 8000K hid kit for the headlights,but does anyone know if there is a aftermarket bulb(the ones with 2 filaments) you can buy to replace the corner ones next to the headlights?
(as long as they look better then stock im happy!)

Just that white next to yellow looks like crap!!  (12v21/5w  P21/5w) are the specs
If not will the bulbs with just the one filament be alright to use?(12v215w) i think?

Other wise if nothing il i might just take them out.
Cheers  Damo

i wouldn't think the corner one would be twin filament. but yes you can buy arctic blue globes from most auto shops to fit in there, they should be a t10 wedge or a bayonet.

The bulb has definitely 2 filaments,
1 goes on when the headlights are on and the other goes on and off when then the indicator goes on and off.

Yerp, it is a twin filament bulb in the U13 corner lights (just a simple brake light bulb, when you indicate, the bulb fully illuminates to help you see around the corner you're turning into). Apparently Narva released an Artic Blue brakelight bulb awhile ago, my auto elec told me at the time he heard it was about to come out.

I ended up using a multiple LED brakelight bulb I found at Autobarn which was okay, nice, white light.

Jaycar sell a white LED style which is very white.  I have a spare set as I bought too many.  I got the the single and double filament bulbs mixed up aswell.  Let me know if you're interested.  You can have them for half price of whatever Jaycar retail them.
