Celica Licence Plate Lights

[Matt Bayley]

Hi Guys n Girls,

I'm looking to upgrade the standard yellow lights that come with my Toyota celica 1.8 vvti 2002 modell to some nice white led bulbs.

Does anyone know what type/size of bulb I need? or has anyone done this and does anyone know if it looks effective?

Regards, matt

Forgot to put that it's the two lights that alumminate the number plate.

You need 501's. Ideally get the ones with multiple diodes on.

Be warned though, one of the bulbs is a PITA to fit. So I hope you have small bendy hands :)

Thanks for the quick reply!

Will these do? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_categoryId_165688_productId_196375_langId_-1?cm_mmc=Shopping-_-Google%20Product%20Search-_-Car%20Accessories%20%26%20Styling%2FLighting-_-Prism%20LED%20Bulb%20501%20-%20White&source=shopping

Obviously I'll try and find them cheaper just want to double check there the correct ones before purchase.

I have large hands :( lol

No go for this type: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-x-Xenon-5-LED-SMD-Car-Side-Light-Sidelight-White-Lamp-Bulbs-T10-W5W-501-168-/270880388170?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f11bab44a

Thanks mate,

Those ones will be better because they have more diodes?

I like to deal with this company. Products are excellent with a wide range for all your needs. The mini 9s are good for number plate and the 13s are v good for front side lights.

Yeah thinking about changing the side lights now aswell, shouldn't be too hard, maybe swap the indicators to LED's aswell.

Edwardio was right with the small hands quote.... Had a go at fitting them today to find you need to take the lock and celica plastic cover on the exterior of the boot off aswell to gain access. I've left it for another day!

Just asking, a bit new here. Would these ones fit a 2000 celica vvti as well?

Would help if I put the link...
