I switched over the high and low beam headlights and foglights to Silverstars, and now I'd like to change the standing/parking lights to the same...for color match so it's consistent over the whole front end...does anyone know the sylvania part number I should use? The owner's manual says those bulbs are W5W, but i can't seem to find a way to cross reference this to a Sylvania number.

 

You could try these:

Philips Blue Vision Sidelights W5W
At last we have matching colour temperature in the zone of HID (High Intensity Discharge) and H1 H4/H7 lamps, for a whiter and homogeneous light.This is the end of the yellowish position lamp/city lights.
High colour temperature of light (3300 K)
Xenon gas filling
Coated with a high temperature resistant varnish
Cooler and bluer light
Colour perfect fitting with H1 H4/H7 and HID lamps
Extended lifetime ,twice as long as regular sidelights

These bulbs are sold in packs of 2 bulbs

thanks david...in looking around some more, i think that's what i'm going to get. sounds like the color should be close...

 

I saw some place on the web the other day that was offering a free set of those W5W bulbs if you bought a set of SilverStar's, but I can't find 'em today.

 

i saw that too. however, i got all my silverstars from walmart, who was $3 to $5 cheaper than anywhere else, which is more than enough to cover the cost of a pair of W5Ws.

 

Cool. I bought mine at WalMart too...

If you can, shoot some before/after pics of the W5W install. I might go ahead with this mod too.

 

if i can find them local, i will do that soon. stopped at walmart and the nearby autozone at lunch today and neither had the Phillips Blue Vision...

 

I've just purhcased some white LED types from PIAA, but! installing them is a nightmare as the whole headlamp unit has to be removed... unless you guys tell me differant..

 

Does the whole headlamp have to be removed to replace these bulbs?

 

i hope not. waiting for mine to get here. just got a set off ebay. will let you know when i try!

 

SSSSSsssssoooooooooooooo..................
What happened????
Pull the headlamp or get a female with long thin fingers to replace the bulbs??? :roll:

 

I put my parking lights in without taking out the headlight it driver side wasnt too bad but the passinger side was a *****. Took a little while, used a long needle nose pliers and then twisted it out the put it back in and twistd it in. I used the 5 led lights and they look good.

 

i did pull the headlamp assembly. made it easier to get at the bulbs, but the mounting bolts for the assembly that are waaay underneath were kind of a pain...so it may be a horse apiece doing it either way. my guess would be a little easier to take out the whole assembly.

 

I can't find a source (in the USA) for the Phillips City lights anywhere.
Help on that anyone??

 

I couldn't either. I was going to order from Powerbulbs.com (I read that people were having no problems ordering from them, though the are in the UK), but i got lucky and found a set on Ebay.

 

i put piaa h7 low beams in mine and also piaa 9006 fog lights both having 4000 kelvin white light with a blue tint they look awsome just like hid but a little pricy. $85 a set. But well worth it

 

I know this thread has been dead for a while but I found this alternative to powerbulbs.com:

http://www.ambulbs.com

It's not as cheap as powerbulbs (i.e. not free) but it's in the U.S.

Also, the only place I found online that carried the sylvania turn signals (7057st) was the store on the Sylvania site. I'm know there are others but I didn't take note of them because they don't ship to Hawaii.

 

Believe it or not I have a pastie on my computer as a reminder for the Phillips W5W that I have never found................................
And now, through you, I have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks.

 

No problem!

I came across their sister site which sold standing/parking lights for Audis and Volkswagens.

Ahhh... finally... I'm a "contributer" to the forum.
