General 500 bulbs/lamps/LED

[kw1984]

I would like to order some replacement bulbs for my Fiat 500. Cooler coloured mains and dipped.

I love the instantaneous light that comes from LED stop lamps and turn signals.

Would it be possible for you guys with 500's to look in tha manual and tell me what bulbs are needed for the different lights.

Any help with matching the standard bulbs up with LED types you can get on e-bay would be great and also saying if any particular bulb would need to be coloured. Eg I presume the front turn signal would need to be amber coloured as the lens is clear.

I know it's a tall order but as I have not got my 500 yet I havent got a manual!

Thanks in advance

Er, I thought we had covered that here https://www.fiatforum.com/500/136095-xenons.html

H7 main headlght enclosure (dip & main beam)

H1 Main beam in DLR enclosure (main beam)

7443 (w21/5w) fir DLR's themselves (same as stop & tail tyoe bulbs)

Thanks mark. I'm just trying to fill in the gap's...

What are the front and rear indicator?

How can the stop and tail bulbs be the same? stop light should be much brighter than tail???

What I am saying is I would like to have rear LED brake lights as they come on more instantly than filament lamps.

I now know I need:
H1 and H7 in a cooler colour for the front,
7443 LED for the DLR's

Nor sure what I would need for the:
Rear brake (not sure if possibe as I know some car's have two filament's in the one bulb)
Front turn indicator
Rear turn indicator

I'm just double checking and started a new thread as this isn't Xeon related anymore.

Twin filament bulbs!!!!!!
Front indicators - WY21W
Rear indicators - PY21W

Twin filament bulbs!!!!!!

So half the LED's will come on when tail lights on/all LED's on when brake pressed?

Sounds right

Just didn't know how it would work with LED's. No experience with them. Thanks

Do I buy clear brake/tail lamps?

I presume the lens makes it red.

Thanks

Also,

Are these suitable for the rear indicator?

From what I can gather, PY21W equates to http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-Bu...ryZ33713QQihZ025QQitemZ380010025859QQtcZphoto

Notice to offset pins....

If someone could confirm that would be great.

Thanks

Also bought some H1 and H7 philips cool headlamp bulbs from an english site aswell + some load resistors for the LED turn lamps as they draw so little current, the flasher unit will think the bulb has blown and flash rapidly without the resistors.

Hopefully I've ordered the right ones if not I've got some expensive fairylight bulbs! Just hping the tail/stop lights will be bright enough.

I'll post some pictures when I get my 500 (1st April) and when the lamps arrive.
