Does anyone know how to change tail light bulbs

Au10tc · 11-19-2009, 05:38 AM

Aloha i was just wondering if anyone has pics of changing the rear blinker and reverse light to leds. Anything would be helpful. Mahalo

follow the rear foglamp diy since you'll have to remove the trunkliner to gain access to the bulbs...(you have to remove the lamps off the car, no access from behind).

you'll need load resistors if you want to swap the blinkers to LED's or it will blink super fast

Shoulda put the chrome turn signals in during one of the many times I had the hatch ripped apart.

Does anyone know a good site to order the Stealth tail light turn signal bulbs? And whether or not they need a load resistor?

These are the ones I ordered

7440 Silver Chrome Natural Amber Bulb: eBay Motors (item 170492100215 end time Jun-26-10 18:38:27 PDT)

Shipping sucks, but they arrived pretty quickly. I've yet to install them, but it should not need a load resistor, as these are still regular filament style bulbs

I tried to order the ones from amazon (see Shrute's journal), but the item is no longer available for the 7440 bulb size.
