Red. Doesn't make much difference, but if you use white and there's any bleed-through into your indicators it will light them up, but red light won't as it won't transmit through the amber filter. If I remember correctly the guy I bought them off only had red in the correct bulb type anyway (as you need two separate circuits for tail and stop lamps).

mind if you take a photo of the light during night and day?

Sorry no-can-do atm Chris - car is in pieces with it's ass against the wall of my garage and the battery is currently in another car

Hey guys
just looking on ebay and found these.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-0...021QQitemZ310071189306QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
Does anyone know if they would fit our cars??

 

[SiliconAngel]

I think they're for the USDM galant, so possibly not. Have you emailed the seller to ask?

 

[naughtika]

yes they are...

JDM uses 1 piece dual headlights..

EUDM uses 2 pieces dual headlights - indicators separated..

I think ADRs mention you can only have six mounted forward for road use. So that's two low beams (with parkers mounted inside), two high beams and two fog lights.

funny you say that about them cutting the turning lamps out over there.

when the BA fairmont ghia came out the dumb ass autralians who designed the bloody things put too many lights in the front of them and we had to do a recall on them - changing the wiring loom and making them only come on when the indcaters were on to comply with oz/nz stds.

you would think that a massive company like ford would know there own countrys rules?!?!

Yea um what about the new Holden HSV R8 clubsport, they all have dual spot lights?

Bumping old topic.

Does anyone know what bulbs the auto gearbox selector uses? (e.g. the side of the stick shift with "N" "D" "R")

is this a T10? same as the centre console's bulbs?

Cheers in advance! I'm buying some H3's for the fog lights...and they come with the pack of T10 LED's so I was hopeing they will fit here.

 

[OVR444]

BUMP - anyone? someone must know... ?

 

[2000VR-4]

You can't take them out and have a look?

Thanks anyway!

h7's +80% are good . but they are jsut for headlights . never taken off the auto shifter to see the globes so cant help you there .
and a quick Q,
is it truu that if i have my headlights on and my fog/drive lights i can get fined for it?

 

[2000VR-4]

Not in South Australia you can't.
I think you can only get fined if they are the yellow fog lights, not clear driving lights

 

[OVR444]

To my knowledge in QLD; if they come factory and switch on with the headlights they cannot book you for them. However if you get a wise cop who knows our cars; he will know there is a foglight switch and then he could be creative and possibly book you. For example: My g/f's N15 SSS pulsar didn't come with the jap version fog lights; So I fitted them and wired them up to the headlights as per factory spec. The car had to go through a random QLD roads inspection and they passed it with no hesitation as it was a "standard accessory".

So unless you have a cop with an attitude I would assume you would be fairly safe.

Just added this to the first post:

Series 2 Eye level brake light (3): W16W or 921 (also T15 fitment, but a standard T15 globe is lower power)

No, they're defined as fog/driving lights in the LOWER bumper regardless of colour (seeing as nearly no cars come from factory with yellow fog globes), and the rules in SA were recently changed to mirror the rest of the country so that if you're using foglights in clear conditions, you can be fined about $140.
