Parker Light

[chichichibo]

May i ask wat is a parker light?
and when would i need to use it?

And for the car plate light, is it T10? but i saw a couple of different numbers behind T10 on the internet, so, which one should i choose?
Thanks a lot

the headlight knob, first click is parkers 2nd turn is your low-beam headlight.

youd use it however you like on rainy days+foglights? at dusk not in complete darkness.

its a t10, same with the parkers

Might I add that replacing the radiator overflow bottle is a pain in the ass. The bottle must be removed in order to replace the passenger side parker. i did mine today.. It'd be otherwise a 2 minute job

engine bays too compact damn the japs with their small hands. took me awhile just to getmy fingers in just to take the bulb out...

How does one have their license and not know what parkers are for..

Parkers and car plate lights are T10.

I did my coolant bottle in 2 mins :D

I meant the bottle was difficult to put back. i didn't even realise that it could be pulled straight up. i initially thought that it was screwed in and i'd have to take the battery out. lucky i did some research first. :cool:
i think i bought the wrong T10s though, mine don't seem bright enough. I got these ones: http://cars.ebay.com.au/LED-Parker-Lights-Honda-Civic-EF-EG-EK-EM-FD-Xenon-HID_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ120621931577#ViewItemTa bs

Sorry, may i ask:
so, T10 is used for the car plate light AND the parker light too?
i am so confused with the lighting.....
i just know i have to buy a HID for the headlight.... :(

Got your HID kit all aimed sirdistik?

anyway, chichichibo, both T10 means they are the same bulb. type - T10 means 10mm wide wedge-type bulb.

what do you mean u have to buy HID??

you dont need to buy hid's to use t10 bulbs.

Thanks for everyone~
yeah, i mean, i want to buy a HID kit, PLUS, i want to change the car licence light~
But i saw the thread here saying sth 'Parker light' and i donno what is that, so, i am curious to ask. :)

I saw from ebay saying the T10 can be used for the indicator light as well, has anyone tried that before?
is it good? and if it is easy to change the indicator light? (mine is a Sport version, so, the indicator located on the side mirror...)

Hey Curtis,

I didn't have to aim them. i've driven it twice at night now and noone's flashed me and had a friend walk out in front as well. i drove behind some cops last night too and they didn't pull me over or anything. when driving behind someone, the light doesn't shine above their boot so it should be ok.

^had a feeling that would be the case, most people don't care, it's only those self righteous people who think they're hot shit who will actually go to lengths to be a dick to you - should check out 8thcivic, it's like a war in t here to everyone has HID's in reflectors.

what's the point of doing the side mirrors?

The whole point of changing to LED's is to change the colour of the bulb - it's mass illegal to have wrongly coloured indicators, and you'd get owned for it straight away.

If you get a plug and play HID kit from one of the sellers here, it's a very straight forward procedure - as easy as changing bulbs, seriously.

Yeh, i read bits and pieces of those posts. I personally hate it when there's too much glare coming from people's HIDs so I wouldn't want to do the same shit to others as it's annoying as fck driving in front of them. It seems the stock aiming is really good, I wonder if anyone here's had to reaim theirs?

actually, i have a feeling that some of the ones i've seen on the roads are 55w bulbs which blind the hell out of you, the ones i bought are 35w which i feel is perfect. what are you running on anyways Curtis?
