Replacement bulbs/globes (headlights, tail lights & everything in-between)

[hozza]

Hey would be a good idea to put the wattage of stock bulbs as well so we don't have any fires.
High beams 55W
Low beam 55W
Fogs are 100W
Correct me if im wrong.(trying to remember from when i bought mine)

Hey All,

I’ve just bought a Legnum and since driving it at night times I’m noticing the lights are very dull and not very bright; I believe they do have the stock gloves in them, it’s not until I put the fog lights on do they go brighter but still with the fog lights they seem to be dull.

I’m going to admit I have no idea regarding knowledge about globes, I don’t know the difference between Xenon’s and LED’s etc. but I’m just after globes that will improve the brightness of the lights, I’m looking to improve the Headlights, Parkers, Fog lights & High Beams. I’ve notice on the first post of this thread the bulb sizes/types, would I just need to find a brighter bulb for the size/type and replace it with my stock bulb.

Thanks in advance,
Jase.

does anyone have clue about after putting LED bulbs for replacement, like indicators, it flashes not in the normal pattern. it's flahsing twice as quicker as than normal.

anything else need to adjust in order to use the LED bulbs???
many thanks

Lower power draw will screw the flasher speed, you need to add something to draw power (like another normal globe)

 

[VOLK]

Either wire in a resistor to match the original current draw

OR

Look for CANBUS LEDs on eBay

You need to replace your indicator relay with one that's LED friendly (ie doesn't measure circuit resistance and thus change flasher speed if you blow globes). Remember though, the change in speed is by design, so you're immediately aware if you blow a globe. If you replace it with a relay that doesn't do this, you need to inspect your indicators at least once a week, to ensure other drivers can tell when you're indicating. Do a search on eBay for LED indicator relay and you'll find a plug-in replacement for a few dollars.

Oh really, I'm just looking one's on ebay, here's a couple of links:

For $30 bucks or so, surely they be better than what I have got now.

Edit: Also, has anyone converted LED lights in the interior, such as the map light etc. if so does anyone know what type of bulb is needed? Furthermore, i'm after some clear amber lens, does anyone know what the part number of these are called or where i could get some?

Thanks in advance,
Jase.

^^ as jase said has anyone led conversion of all interior lights??? if so wat bulbs did u use? i wouldnt mind doing this in my pfl galant just CBF to pull them all apart to check them

I've pretty much done mine, if you go back a couple of pages on page 6, it's listed what is needed for either a PFL or FL which should help.

Facelift map lights: T15 wedge (one each side)
Pre-facelift map lights: 3022 31mm festoon (one each side)
Front passenger lower door/courtesy lights: T10 wedge (one each side)
Rear passenger room/courtesy lights: 3022 31mm festoon (one each side)
Legnum boot roof light: 3022 31mm festoon

Going to be giving these a shot, though not 100% on the outer fogs so still hunting around for some 1156's:

Inner fogs: H3 White bulbs for fog/driving/flood light + T10 parker (Eclipse)

Will report back afterwards...

Tired of blowing globes in the galant, always seems to be low beams every 4mths:/ any brands that last a year maybe??

 

[hozza]

Thats not right. Check your charging voltage it.shouldnt be over about 15V. If its good then check the voltage at the plug of the lights. it should be the same as the battery or charging voltage.

If every thing is good you could try LED lights they will last longer. Not sure how bright they are though.

What are the adaptors like, all burned and black on one terminal? If so, replace them first.

Are you touching the glass part of the globe? if so don't do this during the installation, this maybe why the are not lasting. I maybe wrong though.

I think most clusters use T5 & maybe one T10 bulb? For my WRX I used like twelve T5 and one T10 bulb, enough for the gauges and indicator (I didn't change the rest), not sure about the legnums though as I haven't pulled it out yet, but Im guessing they are the similar.

If you're interested and want to change the ignition light is a T5 cause I've changed it to blue LED.
