Administrators hughezee Posted October 20, 2014 Administrators Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Hi there, you will need to go through the wheel arch area remove a couple of the splash guard clips and push it down and this should leave enough room to get your arm in and retrieve and refit a PY21W bulb. Hope this helps m8y 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Subscriber’s Kelvin Posted October 21, 2020 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Anyone any idea what bulbs I need for the coupe? I bought some silver PY21w bulbs but they're normal bayonet fitting and mine definitely aren't! They are now in the Vivaro looking better than the orange ones but I really wanna fit silver bulbs in the Accord! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep - bought these and went to fit the back ones but mine are some kind of slotted fitment, so used these in the Vivaro instead... I'm confused. I just assumes that like the headlight bulbs, they were an american fitment. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Kelvin Posted October 21, 2020 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 Obviously these are the wrong bulbs but the fitment looked similar. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This post is about the front indicators mate, the rear indicator bulb is standard T20 bulb but you have the DEPO lights which are different again and are like the SYLVANIA one you've pictured above, but with some minimal persuasion an orange T20 will still fit, like the ones in your second picture. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted October 21, 2020 Founding Member Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 As soon as I saw the the first picture of the bulb I was confused as these are the ones I use in my rear Depos cluster(as Stu pointed out). I have chrome coated ones of these as well and with the the black plastic part too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founding Member AhsyV6 Posted October 21, 2020 Founding Member Report Share Posted October 21, 2020 They’re the ones. However I will say that they need a VERY firm push in to the holders and can loosen every now and then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Subscriber’s Kelvin Posted October 22, 2020 Site Subscriber’s Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 I've ordered some of those too - cheers for the help lads, she'll look much better with chrome bulbs and it's something I've been wanting to do for ages. Now Stuart has been spoiling her, I need to do the same. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted November 3, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Found these too, not Phillips but anyone used them?

They're not Philips either! Something i've just noticed on the listing that i've not seen associated with these chrome effect bulbs before is it states they're not for road use. I wonder firstly how rigorously that would/could be enforced and secondly, if the lamps are bright enough to be seen, what is the problem? 🤔 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't say philips are not for road use ??..also the revues say about the brightness being not as good as standard on the cheapies 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted November 4, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Wouldn't surprise me Pete. I've always thought the idea of those chrome bulbs was to remove the "fried egg effect" from clear indicators but many cheap bulbs barely give the necessary output without a covering on the glass. Got a pair of H4 headlamp bulbs in the kitchen, brand new, fitted only for test purposes. They were a pair of Euro Car Prats cheapies that came with a car i bought. Even at brand new, they were dimmer than a 6 year old pair of ebay "Xenon look" cheapies that were much brighter when new. Maybe that's why the cheapies state not for road use but the more expensive varieties are ok. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
