Tail light out ..

JOeJOe · Post by **JOeJOe** » Wed Sep 20, 2006 12:48 am

I've search through the forums but can't find anywhere which mention the type of bulbs used, so can anyone help me?

I'm after the tail light bulb not the brake lights.

Cheers Fella's

They are you normal brake lights too, I've replace all 4 of them with the LED version before. Just pull it out and go to you local service station and they can match it for you.

You do need to dissemble the whole rear light cluster to get to it. Two nuts on each side and push it out slowly from inside of the boot.

LED's, do they last longer then the normal bulbs?

Yeah they suppose too, but i never had a chance to find out.......as i need them to blow out first

Their lumen spectrum isn't as wide, so they appear aren't as bright, but they are brighter at direct line of sight. If you going to get some, make sure you get the clear one and not the red one.

One last question, where do I get them and is there a particular brand I need to get?

No Prob, I got them from the following site.

They are 19 LED one, there are 24 and 36 LED version, which are much brighter, but this site don't have them in white.

Another good site which someone else had posted before.

To change the lights, do I need to disconnect the battery?? I don't want to get electricuted!!

FTO338 · Post by **FTO338** » Tue Sep 26, 2006 10:23 pm

Nope, like i said, just 4 nuts.

That's easy enough.

Yeah just don't drop those nuts behind down the hole coz they're a pain in the ass to get out again.
