Head Light Question

Personality · 1 Week Ago

Hello,

After I sanded and polished my headlights I noticed I have a light burnt out in my headlights, it's not the headlight it self or the corner markers, its the little circular one thats in the middle of headlight and the corner markers.

In the picture it's the circular one within the silver, i am wondering what this is called and if i can replace it without having to take my front bumper off, i have a haynes manual for repairs etc but cannot find that little light being mentioned within it, anyways i will take my bumper off eventually to clear the lights cuz i hate the amber color in the headlight, but its getting cold out soon I feel.

thanks,
dustin.

its just a parking light. stock is 168, but if you want a bit brighter go with w5w bulb. you can reach the bulb by taking off part of the fender liner above the tire and stick your hand in behind the headlamp.

I think i can put this bulb in my stock headlight without any modification, correct? if so i think ill order a set

philips XP H4 bulbs are the best by far if you want a legal 55w bulb. brighter and whiter than stock. and yeah they fit right in the headlight no modifications (except maybe adjusting the vertical aim, since it changes with every bulb).

do you know another site that carries these, for some reason it says its denying my debit card, but i know its working, maybe cause it's U.K, idk.

try credit card if you have it, thats the cheapest site i know of. if you still cant get it to work, i have a spare set sitting around i can sell you for the same 37 shipped and just buy myself another pair from them.

its a debit/mastercard, it works every where else I even just bought something online to see if it works and it does, lol do you have the H4 XP's + the w5w's that they give ya free? by chance.

i dont have any of the blue coated w5w no. the clear ones are pretty common at any store.

they sell philips bulbs at many auto part stores for around the same price i have also seen them at wall-mart.

walmarts here never carried philips. in fact i havent seen a single store that does! kragen, autozone, walmart all carry sylvania, walmart has crappy GE too (their mini bulbs are okay tho and cheap). back in IL we had a meijer and they had every bulb philips made at the time.
