Ok... I have a 2003 oz and just really want to change the turn signals inside the headlamp assembly. I'm getting really ticked cause my local autozone won't let me return my bulbs... i just bought the wrong ones... now i've done this twice. someone out there help me out cause i'm changing all the signals to hyper whites... i've done the side markers with 194... piece of cake. and the headlights with silverstars... now i need the front and rear signals!! help pls

 

i'm not the only one out there with this problem i hope

 

use search function... front and rear turns are 1156 but you have to shave off one of the stubs that lock the bulb in

 

dude, it's 1156 type bulbs, and u dont have to shave anything./ just put it right in. THe ONLY trouble in replacing those bulbs is, u have to take the battery out to get the left turn signal. ANyways....thats my 2 cents. Just buy 1156, go to either wal-mart or autozone, should be NO MORE tahn $5.00

thanx.. i sanded the stub off for the front signals... for the rears i just put them straight in !

 

Thats illegal right?

I dont really care all that much if it is but im just parnoid because i got pulled over for my tint a week ago. Damn $110 for looking sweet. Oh well it stays.

 

I didn't think you had to remove the battery. I didn't find it very difficult to just remove the headlamp assembly, IMO. Then again, I don't know how hard the battery is attached. If it's less than 3 bolts, then do that. Just .02 cents.

 

In the US any clear or colored turn signals are illegal. For the front they have to be amber or yellow, for the rear amber, yellow or red. I use yellow bulbs, look better than crappy stock orange, but still legal

 

why didn't you just read the manual to get the bulb #?

i replaced all of mine with PIAA yellow bulbs and the rear signal with red bulbs

I got the hugest fine ever for putting red LED's in my rear turn signals.. be careful. don't signal around cops if your aware they are around..

and dont breath, eat or sleep either

 

Red LEDs are illegal? I didn't know that, that sucks, why is that? Lots of cars come with them stock....

 

I went to canadian tire (kinda like pep boys) with my stock bulbs in my hand. I got a set that were very close and filed one of the nubs 9not all the way, just enough that they fit) and they have been for a year...no problems

 

k this is dumb... but how do you shave off the nubby thang on the bulb... its like stainless steel... thanks for the help

 

You don't have to shave anything, the socket is flexible just push it in. That's what I did. And I didn't take out my headlight or battery, just wedged my hand in there and sucked up the pain

 

Seriously dude, you dont have to shave ANYTHING. Where do people get that from? You just slide in the bulb. easiest thing you can do to a car...well this one atleast. I used to have a galant, and just to change the headlight, u had to disconnect the connector, unlock the bulb, and remove a "spring" in a certain way.. craziness..1156 is the type bulb for front and rear turn signals. The signals by the doors are 194.
