for '03 protege, the manual gives the wattage for the bulbs, but not the type #! (which doesn't make sense) so let me see if i have this right.....

headlights = H4/9007

turn lights/reverse = 1157

sidemarkers/license plate and all the little wedge bulbs = 194 (?)

dome light = i forget the #



can anybody at to the list or correct me if i'm wrong?

i'm replacing all the bulbs so i want to be sure i'm getting the right ones and the right amount of them!

 

i want to replace the ugly halogen with xenon blues, that will match my sexy blue car! and the ugly orange sidemarkers/turn lights with clear/blue lights........

 

i'm assuming i have the right #'s???? or does no one change their lightbulbs.....................??

 

what a smart *** comment.

 

it wasnt meant as a smart *** comment, i'm a little confused because every other car forum there are lots of threads about lighting and bulb upgrades, so i'm a little surprised at there being no responses or a section in the FAQ about lighting, that's all.........

 

Here's what I have for a P5

Low Beam Bulb H7 55W (?)
High Beam Bulb 9005 (HB3)
Fog Light Bulb H3
Front Turn Signal Bulb 1157NA 26.88/7.55 MiniWedge Dual Contact/Dual Filament
Rear Turn Signal Bulb 210Y 12V 21W
Rear Brake Light 7443
License Plate 3652
Reverse Light 921
Front Sidemarker 168 MiniWedge Dual Contact/Single Filament
Map Light 168 MiniWedge Dual Contact/Single Filament
Dome Light DE3175 10x36mm
Trunk Light 168 MiniWedge Dual Contact/Single Filament

 

Like SOME people have said don't replace the bulbs, unless the wattage is the same as the stock ones. You'll end up melting something. Take it from a guy that knows.

 

For that I can be good example of using higher watts bulbs to ruin headlight assembly.
I had to replace new headlight along with new socket and wires.
after going through all these pains I have finally bought HID kit.
I feel so safe and no more worries for me
