ClubCJ - The CJ Lancer Club

Hi Guys,

I want to change the Bulbs in my car to blue to match the colour of my car and i dont know where to get these from?? i have tried doing a bit of serching on the net but cant seem to find anything.

am i just looking in the wrong places or would it be as simple as going to a local car part shop or Dick Smith or somewhere like that??

I live down in Tassie and dont have any issues ordering in form Australia but if i dont have to that would be good

Sorry if this sounds like a really dumb question

And thanks in advance

ebay

Automoglow - Club Sponsor??

i got mine from ebay not too expencive bout $12 each including freight
ill see if i can find the seller i got them from and pm you the info

THanks for the help guys

After doing a little more searching on ebay i did manage to find one for inside the car. (i just searched for 31mm Festoon amazing how it was that simple)

But i still am having trouble finding the 28mm one for the boot or trunk which ever you prefer (searching for 28mm Festoon is not as sucessful)

i will keep searching but if you guys could point me in the wright direction that would be great

Cheers

The 31mm will fit ok in the boot light, I changed mine no major problems fitting!

Just might need to bend out the socket contacts ever so slightly to fit in properly.

LED's are great, produce less heat & are brighter - mine are white.

For LEDs I recommend www.brightlightautoparts.com

I have purchased quite a bit from these guys, and I have also got mates to buy from them. I know of at least one other person on this forum with LEDs from them and they were referred from me.

Miles better quality than ebay rubbish, been there done that

That person would be me Great LED's with fast dispatch.. i got them the next day.

Plus +1 for that too.....

I've got LED's in the interior and the side lights at the front (164's) - wiked bright white colour and match up with my 5500k headlights...

Question and scenario to check for all you with LED's in the interior....

- Next time you park the car at night, and there is not much external light - so real dark.....
- Turn off the car, and take out the key....
- The interior lights fade off after a few seconds...
- Watch your lights as they fade and immediately after they black out....

Do yours then come on again...? At about 5% brightness....? A real low output of light.... but definitely 'on'.

Mine do.... and I worry about the drain on the battery, but I'd suggest that the voltage is going to be very, very small....

Nope. Mine go completely off. But I will confess. I don't think the LEDs in my interior lights are from BrightLights. I think they were out of stock at the time so I ordered off another store. But it was a while ago now.

Bugger....

I have not used that company either, but I would have if I wasn't buying my headlights at the same time. I ended up getting some from the US with a bunch of other bulbs, to save on some postage - From Autolumination

**Recent Headlight purchase and it looks as if they've changed their supplier and the quality is certainly lacking in this new manufacturer.... I probably would not buy from them again now....

If I was buying some spares or just LEDS, then I probably use Bright Light Auto or these guys with a similar name.... Super Bright LEDs

i checked out www.brightlightautoparts.com they seem pretty good,

i did end up buying a 31mm for the boot aswell from these guys plus a couple of spares

just wait and see how they go when i get them

Hey Billyboy, gotta ask, do you know the chick in your avatar photo? So hot man....Does she do photo shoots for other club CJ members...hahaha

I've noticed the boot one looks like a pain to change so I had an idea i was going to test one day..

rather than use a normal bulb I was going to hook up an LED tube to the wires and put it "above" the metal part in the boot, it has holes there which would put light in the boot but i think it might look sort of weird.
It probably isn't something worth doing because you wouldn't get as much light I think but i'll still test it to see what it's like when I have a spare tube laying around and i'll post it up once i've done it.

i have had the same thought but i have been to lazy and have had other things to spend my time and money on. but you are right there is a good spot for one
