Monaro Bulbs

[Yanayaya]

Good morning,

I can't find any information in the FAQ and I'm sat at work so can't haul the bulbs out to check but can someone tell me the bulbs required for the headlights(sides and main please)? One of mine has gone so I thought I'd just buy a full replacement set.

From memory it's.

H11 main beam

H9 full beam

5w5 side light

I would say main and full are the same! Assume Main is dipped?

I found a chart on PowerBulbs which states as follows:

Dipped/Low Beam: H11
Main/High Beam: H9 (709)
Side/Parking Lamp: W5W (501)

I think it's all in the FAQ's but i've got this list on my PC

Main Lamp - H11 12V/55W
High Beam - H9 12V/65W
Fog Lamp - H3 12V/55W
Indicator - PY21W 12V/21W (Orange, front and rear)
Park Light - W5W
Side Indicator - WY5W
Brake Light - P21/5W
Rear Light - P21

Thanks Granby, I had a quick look at the faq it's the first place I go but I never saw it. I probably missed it however.

Upgrade the bulbs when you do the bulb change its well worth doing , I think it's on FAQ you cut a tab on the bulb and can fit a more powerful bulb in

Just had a look through the FAQ I'm pretty sure the bulb info isn't in there. I'll post it up.
I bought OSRAM Night Breaker Unlimited H11 (Twin) and OSRAM Side Lights
Small upgrade for dark motorway driving

Hi I did do a post it must have been on the old red hsv site which a lot of the information has been lost , it was a wattage upgrade and tabs had to be cut off inside the plastic part of the bulb , as long as you are all sorted any way , the upgraded bulbs did make things much better

You can adapt the H9 (65w) bulb to fit in the H11 holder as stated by just cutting off a small plastic tag, there were photos on I think the main Aussie site years ago but if you hold them side by side its fairly obvious what needs removing. Makes a huge difference at night and because of the projector lenses you wont blind oncoming traffic despite the brighter lights. Had mine done since first winter I had the car - 10 years now.
