Hello, Hyundaihards.

I've checked some references to determine the bulb types in Firty's rear clusters.
From top to bottom, they're 1864421058N BULB, 864221007N 21W(PY21W), 1864316004N BULB and 1864221008N 21W(P21W).

Without pulling the cluster apart, what type and colour is each bulb?
I'm about to go LED on the lot.

I'm not convinced theses are fitted. They're clear except the indicator and I thought the rest were dual filament and could be 21/8 . Can't you find your screwdrivers?

:lol:
I'd fitted the 5W5s to replace the parkers and really like the fresh new blue tinge, but for the rear I thought I'd ask here before ordering, receiving and unscrewing just once.
I still have the other 8 from the batch of 10 5W5s so thanks for confirming the BAY15D types and their colours. :victory:

P.S. The only bulb I can clearly make out is the top and it's clearly a dual filament.

@The Gonz will you need resistors on the tail/brake lights?

I'll know when I try. I still have the 6R 50W resistors I took off my DRL blinker combos. :victory:

OK, so just now I did the last bit of work for the tail lights - at least until I can confidently identify bright enough blade type reversing lamps! - by swapping out the amber indicators.

What had stopped me doing this sooner was that the batch of ten lamps were the correct single pole 2-lug base but the lugs on the original incandescent lamps are offset! :crazy1:

So I put them away muttering about reordering the correct type. Well, just now I decided that reordering is unnecessary when you have a Dremel.  :lol:

I converted two of the new LED lamps into single lug bases and they're in and flashing away happily. :happydance:

No need for resistors, @CraigB , just like the rest of the lamps thanks to the eBay-sourced adjustable timing blinker relay designed not to care. :D

So next time you have lugs that don't match, grind them off! :rofl:
