    Default What lights does a VR/VS take?

    Hey /vrvs/,

    Wanting to replace all of the globes in my car with LED versions (except headlights), as far as I know there's alternatives for all of the globes but damned if I know which ones to get. Owners and Gregory's manuals both proved insufficient.

    Does anyone know any of the ones missing, or if these are actually incorrect:

    Lights

    Front
    Headlights: H4
    High Beams: H3
    Front Parkers: T10
    Fog Lights: ???

    Indicators
    Front Indicators: ???
    Side Indicators: t10
    Rear Indicators: 1156 BA15s

    Rear
    Rear Tail/Brake lights: 1157/380 Bay15D
    Boot Lid "headlights are on" lights: t10
    Reverse Lights: ???
    Number Plate Light: t10

    Interior
    Interior Roof Light: Festoon
    Map/Reading Lights: t10 or Festoon
    Instrument Lights: T10
    Door Courtesy Lights: Festoon

    I'll update this post as I find out more or people post, could be useful for future genera- err... users.

    Notes for LED's:
    - Relay for LED's will stop the lights from flashing too quickly
    - Cruise Control may not work properly unless a resistor is added in line to simulate the correct voltage draw

    This is the best I can come up with at the moment. Just a hint if you have cruise control and you use it dont put LED tail/brake light globes and LED boot lid "tail lights" because the cruise will not notice the voltage drop so will not activate with headlights on

    Headlights: H4
    High Beams: H3
    Front Parkers: T10

    Front Indicators:
    Side Indicators: t10
    Rear Indicators: 1156 BA15s

    Rear Tail/Brake lights: 1157/380 Bay15D
    Boot Lid "headlights are on" lights: t10
    Reverse Lights:
    Number Plate Light: t10

    Interior Light: Festoon?
    Map/Reading Lights: t10
    Instrument Lights: T10

    Goodluck with the front indicator, i tried looking high and low and now luck

    keeping in mind that the cap has the off-set type pins.

    I definitely see what you mean. Maybe I could file one of the pins off

    hey when you get this done can you post up some pics so i can see what it looks like? i have been planning to do this for a while but never got around to it.

    P.S. is there a way around the cruise control problem? cos i want to do this but i use my cruise control a lot.

    I'd say use a resistor for the brake lights, would defeat the entire purpose of energy efficient bulbs but would make the correct voltage draw for the unit to recognize.

    I'm not doing this any more, the lights are completely crap quality and have died - I give up with LED's - bulbs are brighter anyways
