4.3 Bulbs The Definitive

[local hero]

A number of people ask which bulbs they should buy for their 4.3s, so heres the list taken from page 437 of my handbook these are for a 2007 car, but i believe are std throughout the model range;

Headlights (high) 60w HB3

Headlights (low) 55w H11

Frt fogs 55w H11

frt turn signal 21w wedge base (amber)

parking lights 5w wedge base (clear)

side turn signal 5w wedge base (amber) (these should be replaced as an assembly )

rear turn signal 21w wedge base (clear)....Amber on 2009 models (thanks Gust)

reverse lights 16w wedge base (clear)

rear fog light 21w wedge base (clear)

number plate 5w wedge base (clear)

interior lights 8w double ended

frt personal lights 8w wedge base (clear)

vanity light 8w wedge base (clear)

boot light 5w double ended

Please always double check as they may have been altered in later models, This is obviously for UK vehicles.. Stew

Nice one Stew - I was just looking for exactly the same information Did you fit the Osram Nightbreaker Plus bulbs in your dip beams?

[local hero]

No all mine are "ring" xenon ultimate 100% brighter (dips + mains) tbh not sure whether they are ultra, ultimate, or even Max, but they have 100% brighter on the packaging Stew

just confirmed they are Ring xenon max

Following Stewart's recommendation I have fitted, with help from Anchorman (the drivers side is difficult as I did not realise the plastic cover over the radiator had to come off !) H11 Ring xenon Max from www.AutoBulbsDirect.co.uk Part no. RXMH11 They are very good with a sharp cut off.

Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year to all,

Are the headlight bulbs different in the US model? Reason I ask is I used the autobulbs direct bulb checker and it has recommended an HB4 bulb but this is obviously wrong.
