what type is the license plate bulb? type 168 or 192? also, what is the correct wattage, 18 or 5 watts?

 

arent they the same? i thought the only thing different was that 192 is brighter maybe im thinking of 194

 

well, one is 18 watts and the other is 5 watts. i want to get the right one so i dont fry the circuits.

 

I used 168's and I had no problems.

 

hey 96TL,

i'm assuming that you changed your license plate bulbs to hyper whites...what type of bulbs did you get? would you happen to know which polarg bulb fits the license plate?

i looked on Tim's site and the polarg replacement for the 168's are 18 watts, yet i read in the owner's maual that the license plate bulb is only 8 watts. if i use the 18 watt bulb, will that fry the system?

 

I used Polarg 168's. The same ones as the parking and corner bumper lights. Its been about a year and I've had no problems. Polarg makes the actual bulb thats supposed to go in there. I think its a 194.

 

I use PIAA XTreme White for all parking lights, and license plate bulbs: 168

 

arent all the circuits fused anyway?

 

a little warning for people who wanna change the lisence plate bulbs. you can only have them white or else the cops pull them over. i was pulled over for having red ones. apparently changing the colors of these bulbs help gang members identify themselves. so yeah be careful about that.

 

MaxxT,
thanks for the clarification...

unx979,
thanks for the concern...i was going to get hyper whites anyway.

96TL,
thanks for the help...

 

hey no problem at all bro. The 168 isn't the exact one that goes in for the license plate, but it will do since it has the same connector, and there are two of them... they're bright enough.
