Bulb types - UK/Facelift

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

I had UK glass lights in my supra before and im switching to facelifts.

 

My question is about bulbs - I've searched and used this thread - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?215323-What-Bulb-Guide-Pre-Facelift-and-Facelift

 

However the information in there contradicts what I'm seeing.

 

I had a 9006/HB4 HID kit fitted to my UK lights, it fitted and worked fine.

 

This bulb will nowhere near fit into my Facelift lights (the light base is too thick for the hole.

 

I have a HB3/9005 HI beam bulb here, and that fits into the hole for both HI beam and LO beam, but the thread above says different and that 9006 should fit?!

 

To cover my question completely.

 

Which bulb is required?

 

HI - 9005/HB3

LO - ?

Fog - H3

 

Side repeater - 501?

Facelift indicator - 7440?

Facelift Sidelight - 501

 

If the thread above is wrong, can it be edited? it's in the FAQ section?

 

Thanks

Yes it is wrong :)

 

This other FAQ post explains it correctly http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?142251-Which-headlight-bulbs-for-JSpec-and-UK-Spec
