Hi guys, im having a right nightmare trying to find a headlight bulb for my 96 j-spec. I was just wondering what bulbs you guys use? and where you get them from?

 

The numbers on the bulb that came out are:

 

PIAA 900X.XW

12V 55W

 

Ive tried the ones the guys in my local Halfords and Autoparts stores said would fit, but the lugs on the rim were too big and wouldn’t slot in.

 

Also, the bulb that came out has no grooves in the socket bit, but the plug has a single groove?

 

Ive attached a couple of pics.

See THIS POST for full explanation of the problem.

 

In short, the correct bulbs for Jap spec Supra headlights (9005J & 9006J) are not available outside of Japan. Instead you will need to buy a 9005 for your dipped and main beam and slightly trim the tabs to make them fit.
