Hey guys. Considering putting in LED globes, but trying to find the model type of the globes. I read somewhere that the indicators (front and rear, not repeaters) are p21w? Are tail lights p21w but with an offset pin?

Cheers.

I believe stop/tail is BAY15d, indicator is BAU15s? Have a browse through supercheap, k-mart etc first and see which ones match. If you\ve got a phone with a camera, take some pics of your bulbs for reference when browsing the aisles.

[EDIT] Seems the "s" is single, "d" is double, so for example BAY15d is a double-contact non-offset, BAY15s would be the same but single contact. So if you find one similar but with a different number of contacts, just change accordingly.

[EDIT 2] Further info: BA and BAY aren't offset (when viewing from behind), BAZ and BAU are offset. When viewing from the side, BAU and BA have the pins inline, whereas BAY and BAZ are staggered.
Which gives:
BA: not offset, inline
BAY: not offset, staggered
BAZ: offset, staggered
BAU: offset, inline

Do you have cruise control? Apparently, I've heard that the back tail light globes are apart of the cruise control circut setup. LED's use much less power and apparently can cause issues with the cruise control. You need to wire in a resistor.

Also you may want to look into the ADR legalities of using LED"s. To my knowledge, the spread of LED's is narrow and much less than a standard bulb. Therefore the lights may not be able to be seen properly from various angles, as required by the ADR rules, nd you run the risk of being unroadworthy.

Cheers man, that looks to be yielding some results so I might order some.

I don't have factory cruise, I have aftermarket. Fo shiz.

I'll just get globes that give off roughly the same amount of light as stock. I won't worry too much, because I'm more concerned about lowered VR common*****s with their tinted taillights which you can't even see. Plus if the light output is the same there's not a whole lot you can be defected for, unless being more electrically efficient is illegal now :P

Just don't bother with LED's ,they are useless when you used in the front and rear lights,led imo ,only work best in the interior.
