Bulb Types

[Justin p]

looking to see what bulbs i can change to LED on the is200 :) any one got a list of bulb types e.g sun visor, indictors so i can price it up and see what colours to have B)

[Mr Morse]

I have a few for you to start off with:

Front Indicators: 7440 wedge, you will also need load resistors to prevent over-flashing

Side lights: 501 wedge

Side repeaters: 501 wedge

Dome & map lights: 239 barrel

Number plate lights: 501 wedge

The only others that are worth doing are the dash lights - Prolex/Fargo are doing a kit for this.

None of the other lights are really suitable for LED's.

What about reverse and break light? Are they two weak during daylight or something?

Reverse 7440

Brake 7443

[Moffet]

I've changed the headlights and sidelights to Philips Blue Vision (headlights temporary until I can afford an HID kit) but want to change some others too.

I'm avoiding making the front indicators clear for now because I don't like the idea of having to melt anything.....

Can someone confirm the following will fit:

Rear indicators

Side indicators

Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated.

I see the reg plate bulbs use the same connection as the sidelights. Can I use sidelight bulbs for there or will they be too powerful/hot/bright?

Can someone post a link to some blue (ish) reverse bulbs too, because I can't find any! There have been many posts about this but no-one has posted any sort of link.

Lastly, has anyone replaced the internal boot bulb for something that actually lights up the inside of the boot? I want something better because mine is rubbish!

Oh, and is this the HID kit Prolex are offering at the moment - it's not the one listed on the website! :duh:

Thanks guys! :D

Yes and yes for the side and rear indicators as you have shown.

I have some blue LED reversing bulbs coming in soon - PM me for details

You can use 501 LED's for the rear licence plate bulbs - PITA job to do but looks nice.

The only way you will illuminate the boot to your satisfaction is by fitting a strip of LED's or something similar. Not worth it IMHO.

Front Indicators: 7440 wedge, you will also need load resistors to prevent over-flashing

Side lights: 501 wedge

It's the 9 LED version, the 18 is too big. The light is not too strong but it's a wierd blue light like you're sitting in a space ship or something!

I've just ordered the White 9 LED one.

Why does the 18 one not fit? Too wide?

[Moffet]

Thanks Mike.

Ordered the indicators, and will receive a free set of Phillips BlueVision sidelights. That's why I was asking if I could use them, because they are free! Will they work?

Might be interested in the blue LED reverse lights, but they might be a bit too blue. I've been watching your thread on it, but you've yet to mention a price!

Dome & map lights: 239 barrel

Just to add that the dome and map lights for the Altezza are 269.

Just got my 239 White LED one through, and it's too big... :(

Apologies, my error, it is 269

[eXOBeX]

Big, white wide-angle does the boot in my GS nicely.

The single-LED mini-wedges give a lovely, bright light in the footwells and glovebox, but you've got to shave the bodies a bit to get them to fit.

Boot bulb is 501 of course - you'll find more 501s in a Lexus than in a Levi's factory!

I just got the 239 too :duh: obviously too big, but also completely different type. The one in my IS200 is similar to 233 (can anyone confirm)....

Also how do I take the dome light surround off? When I say dome light I'm talking about the interior light that comes on when you open the door.

Thanks,

Ash

[g4crx]

Forgot to ask what is the bulb type for the one in the ashtray?

Similar to this I think....
