Miggs Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 i have LED ones in mine, i think it's only the later canbus cars that cause problems but there are many canbus error free leds available now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 Is yours a uk car miggs ? Looked up what size i needed, results came back as 42mm festoon happy days i thought until i took bulb out. It's a tiny 24mm festoon in front and a small cap bulb in the rear so that p***ed on my bonfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 yeh mines a uk classic mate, i got 36mm festoons off eBay and it takes 32's but luckily the pins stretched to 36, at least i think it was that way round, i have a newage map reading light in the front and the standard uk light in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 While i'm on subject of lighting i thought i'd update this thread for future reference. Finally got round to fitting led's in car. Jdm forester sizes Are 31mm LED festoon in front and 501 LED replacement in the rear. Didn't bother with map lights i presume they are 501 to Found everything on the bay and Amazon :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miggs Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 My map reader bulbs were festoon, I have 501 bulbs all over the place in the garage as I buy them from China for 6p a pair including delivery lol, I use an app called my bid sniper, they always get posted in a jiffy bag too which has to cost them a bit more than I pay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 31mm in map lights as well if they're the same as the impreza though the pins will take up to at least 40mm (mine have) in the middle I have some crazy 12smd festoon its lovely and bright 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
