Help changing rear clusters

[thecremeegg]

Hi
I'm following fubar's guide, but he doesnt mention how to change the bulbs over. How do i know which hole each bulb should go in, as there are 3 bulbs but 4 spaces?

thanks

Tom

remember you only have one fog light

Assuming you are using the necessary ph2 bulb holder of course...

Yes i have the bulb bolder, but one of the fittings on it won't take my bulbs - it seems to be an offset bayonet as opposed to the others which have level (horizontally) bayonets....if u get me? i dont have a bulb that fits, surely i dont have to buy a speical bulb?

Thanks

It needs an offset pin thats what you mean???

 

[thecremeegg]

Err yea i think so.....do i need a new bulb then?

Tom

Yeah it sounds like it but i cant see why one bulb would be different from the rest..... odd!!

 

[thecremeegg]

I know....all the rest of the sockets are standard, but what looks like the reverse socket is different on boths sides.....nobody else seems to have mentioned it on CS!!! I beginning to think ive gone mad!

Heres a picture

Havent you got a local halfords or motorwold by you??

The offset pin bulb is the indicator, which is an AMBER bulb. The bulb No. is 567 or EB581.
You would have had clear bulbs behind amber lenses in the old set.

Ah that makes sense now, cheers.....i did wonder what i was going to do for indicating lol
Any ideas on how much bulbs cost?

P.S Out of interest, how come Days lights have orange in the cluster with a clear bulb? are there 2 different types of cluster?



Cheers

Those are Dans (fUbAr) lights.

The reason they look like that is they are Phillips Silvervision bulbs.

These are mine...

Cheers
