I'm ordering a set of side markers. I have read I need, or I should get, the red bulbs.

Which red bulbs do I need?:

12 Volt 21 / 5 Watts Double Filament Large Push-in Light Bulb
OR
12 Volt 21 / 5 Watts Single Filament Large Push-in Light Bulb


Better yet, which of these stock numbers do I need from autodynamix.com: http://www.autodynamic.com/colored_bulbs.htm

BTW: What is the "manual" being referred to when replacing the side markers?

Thanks!

 

They are wedge bulbs... small, not big. The package was in Japanses, so I couldn't tell you what to get.

The "manual" is your owner's manual. It comes with the car.

 

When I changed mine I looked at the stock bulb and it was a 194 bulb. So, I got the OptiBlue 194/168 red bulbs. Hope this helps.

Peace...

 

Yes, I just replaced mine. I got red 194 bulbs at a local auto part store. Also bought the orange ones anticipating those front clears one of these days.

 

Oh, yeah, I do have an owner's manual. Will a manual come with the bulbs too?

Thanks for information on the bulbs (and the manual). I placed an order for the markers and the bulbs!

 

Read the (Nissan Maxima 2000) owners manual - it tells you how to remove them (page 8-29 I think). I just did mine last week, the harness twists out 1/4 turn and the bulb just slides out. Be careful so you don't mess up your nice car or break the old markers on the way out!

 

I scratched... DOH!

 

i got the blue LED wedge bulbs.. dunno how they work havnen't got a chance to try em' yet.. i'ts like a humongous cell phone antenna led.. should be realll brihgt. and it's clear so can't see blue when it's off.

 

Make sure you install it before the meet so you can show everyone.

 

yeah show everyone the fix it ticket. i dunno where to put it. i'm thinkin' in the door panels where it lights up when u open a door.

 

Step light... that'll look neat. Don't have to worry about the fix-it ticket then.

 

eh i got a bunch u want some?? i'll see how many i'll have left over. if it's tight i'll show u..

chris.. THIS IS FOR WEST COASTERS ONLY>> muhahah. alright.. thas a bit OT

make sure you don't push in the wedge bulb in hella hard or else they WILL snap.. i've done it before.

 

It snapped?!?!? What did you do to get it out?

I'll be happy to buy some off you it they look tight. Jane wants the e-brake handle pad...

 

it snapped on my crx.. the glass ones. i used needle nose pliers to pull it out from the filliment. the step light looks tyte at night.

 

So you installed them already?

 

those r the only things i bought for my car that actually fits. and its only on the step light thing.. i'm gonna change to glove box light too tho. if it's the same. it looks saweeeeeeeeeeeet at night tho. not the best during the day. it glows a dark blue

 

Cool, can't wait to seem 'em.
