In-Mirror Indicators

[J Henderson]

Does anyone know what size/type of indicator bulb is inside the door mirrors?

The owner's manual just says "wedge" and I've not had any luck searching the internet. I'm thinking it's probably a W5W, but if anyone can confirm that'd be great.

Dammit ... I stripped both mirrors right back to the bones recently to overhaul the fold action motors. I disconnected the turn signal connectors to remove the rear cowl completely. Didn't even think about the bulb that was in there.

I know for sure the puddle light bulb is the usual 501 / W5W bulb. Like this:-

You'll also find LED bulbs used for the puddle light. Mine are this type (no more than 23-25mm total length)

Maybe its the same W5W for the turn signal. I can't find any info anywhere about the turn signal bulb on any other sites either.

No wonder I couldn't find out any info on the bulb type in the mirror's turn signals. There isn't one...it's an LED unit! A complete assembly with no possible/necessary bulb replacement, much like the tail lights.

I can't believe I've never noticed that before... 😳
