Parking light bulbs on my 04

ricehead · 11-25-2003

Kinda new to the site, just picked up a new 04 5sp LX coupe and I love it so far. I have one question for you all - what size/number bulbs are my parking lights?
It seems like I have to access them through the fender liners, but it would be easier to pick up the bulbs before starting the project so i dont have to drive to the parts store with my car torn apart

You can try going to a car store and ask someone for the bulbs for an 04...usually car stores have bulb numbers on a list...even though the car is brand new i think the bulbs are the same as older 7th gens...

yeah, tried that last night, and they said it wasn't listed for anything later than an 02. I would assume the lights are the same, maybe i'll go looking around on my street for an older one...

Well, u can take the bulb from ur car n go back to that store n compare it to the 02 bulb n see what happens.....

just would rather not drive around with my fender liners taken apart, but thats prob what i'll have to end up doing
thanks

Take a look at the back of your manual that came with your car. It lists all the different bulbs that are in the car and what the model is. Shouldn't be too hard.

thanks for all the help (and nonhelp, my manual is at parents house, im in grad school)

for those who search later, it's an 1157NA (yellow) or 1157 (clear)
remove two of the fender well clips with a flathead screwdriver, bend down the fender well plastic, and have someone with a skinny arm reach in and turn the bulb housing counterclockwise, then pull towards you

needing bulbs on an 04 already? Or is this a mod?

"mod"
just putting clear turns in place of the yellow ones - nothing special
