So i bought 1156 backup lights for my car and they don't fit they are too big and my stck bulbs are thinner but they fit in the actual socket but don't clear when i try to lock the socket back in. Did i get the wrong size because in the NOOB guide it says 1156.

 

led?

 

i bought THESE and i tried to put them in and pushed them in and they just broke.

 

does the bottom of the bulb have 1 or 2 contacts?

 

1 i mean they click in but they are too fat to go into the hole to fit in

 

i got a 3497 bulb in mine and it's perfect.but i did alittle research for you
and look

did you test if they work? only thing i can think when i changed from a 6 led to a 9 led,the 9
base was too big and i had to file down the socket where it didn't affect the locking groves.just order led's

 

So what size are the backup bulbs?

 

the number mostly represents the style of contact
its true
we dont have conventional backup bulbs. ours are slimer just because some fucknut at acura though they wanted to fuck with us
i say we revold and take the power back
whos with me
go to your closest acura dealer and take a huge on their door step

 

did that done that and they told me thank you

 

I would love to leave one on the service managers desk

 

where can i get the leds? they work but wont fit so i guess it's either led's.

 

okay they said use a filer and then put the bulb in....will the led ones fit without filing it

 

they should, if you wanna wait i'll order a set right now and let you know. thats the one led i still need.didn't do it cuz those little f*ckers are expensive and i spent over $100 on led's ...

 

yeah i'll wait and see i guess and i bet the led's look better too. i have led's as my dome light and the lights on the door. DAMN!!! 100$ haha what did you get?

 

4 corners changed twice cuz i didn't like the look,all together i got the 4 corners
ers,sidemarker,turn signal,door,map,dome,glove,and trunk all led

 

damn bro that's what i want to do actually but to much money for now just the reverse for now so let me know bro how they fit.

 

i'll get back to you,your lucky it's pay day the guy i deal with on ebay is great they should be here sometime next week.just remind me if i forget cuz i'll install and that be the end.

 

oh yeah how many bulbs are you interested in 18,24 or 32?

 

what do you mean ?

 

# of led bulbs in one unit.

the more led's the bigger the base, which means more of a chance to not fit. i also think the best light output would be from an led that has the bulbs outward.it's not always about how many lights,it's where the light is pointed.fyi led's look better but actually have less output than our stock bulb.

 

so which am i ordering to test out?

 

the 18 and 24 both seem like they will fit bro

 

but the 18 more than the 24 haha just to be sure

 

hey percy which bulbs did you end up buying?

 

^^i waited for a reply as of now,nada.(it's was the weekend not gonna be shipped anyway).my boy got led's in his accord i'm gonna pull out tomm.(he's retarted and don't know anything about them).i'll test,if he has 18 i'll get the 32 just to see if you can do it without filing. if not improvise and make the 32's fit.

 

the 24s seem like they fit too...well let me know asap because i'm ready for some led's too haha
