Light query.

Post by MrDubberLover »

Right I've had the LED conversion in my interior lights for a while now & would like to do the same to the exterior lights. I'll be fitting a HID kit soon with 4300k dipped beam. I have a few questions about the other bulbs in the headlights and also the rear clusters.

This is what I think are in the headlamps.
Sidelight: 501
Dipped beam: H7
High beam: H7
Indicator: 581
Side indicators: 501

Obviously the dipped beam will change to the 4300k's from the HID kit but what sidelights & hi beam bulbs should I go for for optimum light output & to match the HID? Thinking of a xenon Bosch bulb for my high beams and some LED sidelights on eBay.

This is what I think are in the rear clusters.
Brake lights: 566
Reverse lights: 382
Indicators: 581
Fog light: 382
Sidelight: 501

I'm just looking to smarten the outside of the car up a bit as well as making winter driving a bit safer.

These are what I'm looking at on eBay at the moment:
Indicators: item no 280778657694
Sidelights: 321219579323

Any help and eBay links would be brilliant.
Cheers, Bob.
