JDM Prelude 4th gen front side lights question
Hi
I'm looking to replace the existing 5w front side light bulbs on the front of my car with suitable white LEDs.
There are numerous places I can buy them from, but what I would like to know is... which fitting do I go for? I'm assuming its either a 'bayonet' type, or hopefully the flat push in type (like xmas tree lights).
I know how fiddly it is replacing the side lights (I don't have a manual), so any pointers on how to do that as well would be great!
Cheers
Andrew

If you're talking about the corner lenses on the JDM one-piece headlights, then yes, it's a snap. I had amber LEDs in mine for awhile. You just need the push-in type. The side lights are easy as hell to replace (unlike the headlight bulbs!). The only thing you have to do is turn the socket to remove it, except on the driver's side where you'll have to remove the top part of the window washer fluid (one bolt, easy)

Hi. Yes I am talking about the corner running lights (sidelights). Its all different here in the UK you know! Such a simple thing with so many different names.
I have since found out that its meant to be quite simple to change them too(thanks iLude), so I have ordered the relevant LEDs (501) and also some tail/brake lights as well!
Cheers
