I need some P21W bulbs.......... I assume P21W bulbs are all the same fitment re pin location etc?????????

 

I ask as I have purchased PY21W (Orange indicator) before from a particular seller on ebay (for ease) and I need some more of these for the rears but also as I was checking the type I noticed a slightly discoloured brake bulb and this needs replacing. It is broken now.

Anyway, this seller says that their P21W (so brake, fog, tail, reverse) doesn't fit my vehicle

Will they fit or am I missing the reason????????

 

Cheers.

 

 

Not all bulbs have the same bayonet fitting.

 

Pull whichever bulb(s) you are replacing and check.

 

IIRC the PY21W indicators on my car has offset pins-type BAU15s

Yes, I need both mac.  

The PY21W i previously purchased and intend to purchase again for the rear indicators are fine for the indicator fitting, as I mentioned. The Y = yellow.

 

It is the fitting of the P21W that the linked seller says does not fit my vehicle. My vehicle has P21W bulbs also as mentioned. Brake, Tail, Fog and Reverse. So I cannot understand why it states does not fit. I just want to check before purchasing.

 

I ask are ALL P21W bulbs the same fit. If they are then I can purchase from him, along with a set of PY21W.

 

I have tried messaging the seller but says they are receiving too many emails to reply.

Looking further at autobulbsdirect gives me two options..........566 or 382.

 

The 566 seem to be P21/4W and have offset pins so NOT correct for my vehicle so the 382 must be correct.

 

I'm going to assume the ebay ones P21W 382 are correct for my vehicle as I suspect.............. unless anyone here tells me otherwise.

 

Cheers.

Fitment:

 

Indicators 21W BAU15s (581)

 

Tail/Stop/Rear Fog  21/4W BAZ15d (566)

 

Reverse 21W BA15s (382)

I got caught out with rear bulbs also recently. The indicators are offset and I think the brake/tail also. Best to check before buying, not just what I said they might be.

Thanks mac......... where is that info from????

 

I will double check but I'm sure all of my rear bulbs are the same P21Y single filament. I will grab my handbook again too.

I have already borrowed one of the reverse lights for my brake light replacement.

 

What age is your vehicle.???????????? I see you have similar. I could see the hatch's being different possibly.

I thought it might have been from your vehicle. I will double check tomorrow but unless I am going mad (when I looked earlier) , mine on the estate are all the same bog standard P21W for Brake, Fog, Reverse AND tail.

New bulbs on the way so will update................... mine are all the same bar the indicators, obviously, cos these are yellow. Ta.

Osram are incorrect if that info is for the estate then Mac.......

 

I confirm that yes, the estate takes all P21W bulbs, bar the indicators (obviously cos they are a different colour and PY21W)..

 

And the ones I questioned that the seller said will not fit my vehicle.......................... Did fit just lovely.

 

Cheers for all the input.
