Somebody in the Interior Bulb Change DIY told me to get the M-28 Polarg Festoon Bulbs for the rear dome light... WRONG... too short!!!


These are the ones I tried to put in, but the bulb is too thin and too short:



DO NOT GET THESE... I REPEAT, DO NOT GET THESE... too small for the rear dome light...

There, I wish somebody would have told me that... the search function really sucks these days, nowhere could I find out what exact bulb size to get...

NOW, can anybody out there please advise me on what the real size is to get for the Rear dome light if I want a polarg festoon style bulbe back there????


thanks in advance, sorry for frustrated tone, but now i have to have my rear dome light hanging out for the next few days till i get the right bulb

Just look for a polarg that's 40-42 mm.

where, there are none on ebay that are polarg in the right size...

havent people done this mod with a polarg? can someone just please post a link to what they used that will match with the polargs used in the front????

this is so frickin frustrating finding this damn rear dome light bulb....

I've researched this before, and I've read that the prongs are pliable. So you can adjust them to fit the bulb, but I don't know for sure.
Others just put an LED there. It's the same color.

ya i dont wanna mess with the prongs, might as well get the right sized bulb... and i dont want an led either since i like the way polargs look in the front already...


i have polargs everywhere except this damn festoon bulb...

i guess polarg does not make a 6411 bulb???

I tried an LED festoon bulb that was 38mm (1 1/2") and also had to adjust the prong to compensate. I had to return the LED because it was making a buzzing sound.

The OEM festoon bulb measures 44mm or 1 3/4".

i measured today the oem bulb and it was 42 mm

I'm pretty sure the site I ordered mine is called automotivelightingusa.com or autolightingusa.com.. I'm trying to check 4 ya but my bb sucks rite now.. Anyway, when you search under festoon bulb they ask you small medium or large.. Get the large 1 I made the mistake of getting the medium! Get the large 1.. If anything google "large polarg festoon bulb" search you'll find it!

Finally !!! Somebody actually gives useful bulb information!!!

I will now confirm
for all those who may be in question, if u want to do polarg all the way around, the rear dome light bulb is the M-88 size. That is all you need to know.

Were are you buying them from? Let me knoe I had the same problem
Found it thanks

Richard2011

I've seen the M88 polarg come up while I was researching polargs on here.
Tell me if it fits when you get them!

This site says there 44mm. Too long?

And Amazon says they're 52mm! What?

Frnakito71

I just order my set, I will let you know

bigigg

glad i can help.. i ordered the mediums assuming they would work.. i was wrong! but honestly i was frustrated and in a hurry like usual, i just bent the prongs and made it work.. soo far soo good.. but you should have no problems at all with the xL bulb good luck

Thanks for the model number. I've had a lot of difficulty finding anything in the proper size--polar G or LED or whatever. I'd kinda like to get LEDs to match the front, but polar Gs would be better than stock (and cheap).

Measured mine at 1.665 in or 42.219 mm. I got a 44 of ebay ill let you know how it fits. Looking at the socket, the contact is easily adjustable. IMO go bigger.
