bulb sizes [FD + FN2R]

[BusterSonic12]

Hey,
just wonder what bulb sizes for the headlight do the normal civic use? and the civic sport foggies? and also what does the FN2R uses?

[dmx]

HB4 fog + low beam
HB3 high beam
for FD

[jckidz]

dmx, have you had HID for your civic? I'm thinking of doing it myself without removing the front bumper.. I've been searching the forum for DIY guide for this, but I couldn't find one.. Do anyone know how?

[ahmondjai]

isn't the normal bulb for FD, HB3, HB4 and H11 for foggies?

I've also been told that if I fit HID to my FD, it will void the warrenty, that's why I'm doing it. but correct me if I'm wrong~~

You dont need to remove the front bumper at all.

you remove the screws from the splash gaurd where the wheels are and pull it back.
then you look up and you will be able to see the lights and you twist them and pull it out then place the hid bulb in there while some one helps you pull the cord for the ballast threw from the top of the engine bay.

fog lights are easy just pull hard on the black cover next to it. then unscrew the light and replace the bulb.

if you wanna know a bit more in detail just pm me.

correct bulb sizes are
Low beam - HB4
High beam - HB3
Parkers - W5
Fog Lights - H11

mine, i did remove the bumper to mount the balllast. but my fren, he just put around the radiator area (there is metal bar that u can use), and the cables close enough to reach the headlight. u can try this.

[jpwwong]

Does HB4 = H4? HB3 = H3? Parkers = Watt5??

Thanks

[Shimian]

The bulb sizes are not the same

http://www.velocitygetter.com/images/VGsize.jpg

HB4 = 9006
HB3 = 9005

Parkers are usually 10W. Most or all cars use T10

[applio]

FN2R Lo beam is H7,

[applio]

isn't the normal bulb for FD, HB3, HB4 and H11 for foggies?

i would uninstall it before claiming the warranty, don't give a chance for them to avoid your warranty.

parkers also known as T10 if u looking for JDM bulbs.. =)

[black8thgen]

yeah parkers are t10..

btw: put in my high beam bulbs today.. felt like changing them lol.. and ONE BULB DOESNT F**ING WORK WTF?! and then so i tried pulling the other one out to return the bulbs,, and it won' come out of its fcuking socket? busted my ass tryna get that stupid light out of its damn hole.. yet it wouldn't come out.. so i got one blue and one white high beam light LOL.. wtf do i do now =.=.. and the coolant box is a fcuking bitch to get back in.

[JOhnnyFD]

ye.. its annoying.. i had the same problem lik u black8th... purchased parkers, low and high beam bulbs... all worked fine except for one high beam bulb.. was so f!@#ing annoyed but i got refunded with the high beams and i still have the pair.. & tat damn coolant, takes practise to put back in

[black8thgen]

ahahha, yeah..bloody hell. gna cause me some future back issues lol =.=. yeah how the hell does just one not work.. but my issue is one doesn't come out of the socket again, dno wtf to do with that lol =.=. and its on the coolant side.. what a bitch..

[JOhnnyFD]

i ordered the bulbs in through courier, so it must have been damaged through transit

on the coolant side, there isnt alota room to move around.. have u tried pushing the bulb in first before turnin??

[black8thgen]

hmm yeah couldn't seem to move it anywhere, but i'll give it another crack this weekend probably, yeah can barely fit two hands in there if its necessary.. battery gets int he way. ahh yeah im thinking mine was damaged through transit too..

[d@vid]

I just DIY my headlight to HID, its 9006 :D

[markCivicVti]

Some one gotta help me here, I saw the "Valentines day cruise nsw" photos where they all had their low beams on... but the parkers were off.

When I have my low beams on my parkers are on as well.. and it looks a bit funny cos it's a blue low beam light next to the OEM yellow parker... Is there something wrong with my lights?

[JOhnnyFD]

when im on my lows, my parkers are on as well.. wats wrong wif that?

[black8thgen]

Just get some LED parkers =D. and nah the valentines pics they all have them on - just most have white/blue LED parkers which may or may not show up properly in a photograph.

And yes my parkers are on too with low beams - i think thats meant to happen isnt it? =/.. otherwise we got a biiig problem here.

[Waternmo]

was it hard installin HID for the FD2? anything that i needa pay attention to?

[Phlirt]

Just picked up some HB4 Phillips Blue Vision, H11 Phillips Crystal Vision and some W5 Phillips Blue Vision Parkers - hoping it will look good

[black8thgen]

the h11 crystals aren't as white as you might want.. still a yellow tinge to it, but its good for driving at night in dark streets. needs a higher Kelvin that 4100K... too yellow =[

[JOhnnyFD]

took these photos a while ago.. before i placed on FD2R kit and had my Ps

euro opti blue xenon 9006 HB4 12V 55W 4200K
zoom LED globe parkers lights blue

[black8thgen]

where u get thsoe bulbs from? they halogens? and do they actually look that blue/white in real life? where u get the zoom parkers btw?

[JOhnnyFD]

low beams are xenons.. its white and has a small tinge of blue.. ordered them from modyourcar but they dont sell em anymore

the parkers are heaps more bluer than the low beams, got those at paddys markets flemington

[black8thgen]

ohh.. hmm 4200K.. i have 4750K halogens and their blue as from further away but clean white up close - no blue tinge up close.. =/. and havn't u got any problems with the blue parkers? ive had cops stare mine off and their just pure white

[JOhnnyFD]

i went past the popos a few times and they didnt do anything.. but turning on both parkers and low beams i think is fine.. puttin on the parkers on only would stand out
