Title: GD LED Light upgrade, help please?
Post by: kroner on December 14, 2019, 11:49:36
Hi All.
been browsing/searching and I found no list of the bulbs we have.
here's what I found so far.
apparently the running light/brake is a PY21 (warm white) with offset pins.
how about the rest? any recommendations?

thank you

Do you have an owners manual, they're all listed in there :)

Indicators should be PY21W/BAU15S - Amber  :link: 1 x Canbus BRIGHT AMBER LED INDICATOR BULB No Hyperflash BAU15S PY21W ? Classic Car LEDs Ltd (https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/collections/indicator-bulbs/products/canbus-bright-amber-led-indicator-bulbsno-hyperflash-bau15s-py21w-glb581) if you have amber side indicators in the front fenders they'll be T10

Park lights T10

Reverse lights T15  :link: 2X iJDM T10 T15 W5W 12V 20W CREE CANBUS LED HEADLIGHT SIDE LIGHT BULBS REVERSE | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2X-iJDM-T10-T15-W5W-12V-20W-CREE-CANBUS-LED-HEADLIGHT-SIDE-LIGHT-BULBS-REVERSE/253847590573?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)

Head lights for both high and low should be H7 -2 pairs, unless your's are Xenon :undecided: these work well in the low beams on mine though I required bulb adaptors and rubber boots to extend the dust caps  :link: JW Speaker H7 LED 6000K DIRECT FIT LED GLOBE - BUILT IN CANBUS pair 12-24V | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/JW-Speaker-H7-LED-6000K-DIRECT-FIT-LED-GLOBE-BUILT-IN-CANBUS-pair-12-24V/183867183894?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)

My interior lights and boot are all these   :link: 2X iJDM 2018 12V 31MM FESTOON LED CAR UTE INTERIOR DOME MAP LIGHT BULB GLOBE BMW | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2X-iJDM-2018-12V-31MM-FESTOON-LED-CAR-UTE-INTERIOR-DOME-MAP-LIGHT-BULB-GLOBE-BMW/263816627752?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)

Here's an interesting idea when replacing with longer profile LED headlights:
Hyundai Ioniq headlight extended end cap (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2518635)

I wouldn't know whether it's a perfect match for an i30 but designing longer caps for other models wouldn't be difficult at all. :winker:

Spotted those Philips LED T10s you used as parkers. Would you say they'd do OK as reversing lights? I've got some piddly cheapies in there temporarily while I shop around. At night the brake lights put out more light than the reverse lights for using the reversing cam! What specs are those T10s?

@The Gonz  No those bulbs are specifically for park lights, they're same size as normal halogen T10's with minimal light throw.

I use JDM T15 bulbs for reverse, same base as the T10 though the bulb itself is larger  :link: 2X iJDM T10 T15 W5W 12V 20W CREE CANBUS LED HEADLIGHT SIDE LIGHT BULBS REVERSE | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2X-iJDM-T10-T15-W5W-12V-20W-CREE-CANBUS-LED-HEADLIGHT-SIDE-LIGHT-BULBS-REVERSE/253847590573?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649)
