Inner Headlight bulb question?
 
mine just went out and i dont know what size the bulbs are? i bought a pair earlier but they were just too big in diameter. can someone tell me what size they are and where to get em' (Pepboys, Kragen, Autozone, etc.)?

what is a "inner headlight bulb"?

Where is it exactly?

the headlight is H7 if it helps...

Do you have your owner's manual? You should look in there.

No you don't have your owner's manual? You should look on the front of the headlight. They're listed there. Assuming you are in the USA.

its the headlights closest to the grill. i know that the outer ones and highbeams are H7's but the inner ones are a very small bulb. in the owners manual it only says H7's... ?

those don't really have a standard size nor a reference number.

THey are simply called 'city light'. if you buy a brand called Raybrig, they are "M17", but they are a blue shade, and not very bright.

I found this online for Polarg M17 city lights:

Polarg Lights

Another Polarg dealer

How are these lights? Any good? Will they burn normal, or will the computer say that there's a burnt out bulb? THey're only $16 and are supposed to have a blue tint.

I'd like my city lights to have a white tint rather than blue. Do you guys know of any white M17s?

I have Polarg M17 and they're still very bright, the blue tint gives the bulba white/blueish color when it's on. I got them for $10 at 99 Ranch Market in Irvine.

Yes yes,..... they are Polarg. wrong brand mentioned.

They won't give you any problems and so far, no burn-outs yet. However, fyi, these bulbs are painted blue.

You can't even see inside it. So, as you can imagine, it barely lights up. Only upside is that its not yellow like the stock one, but don't expect it to be even half as bright as stock ones.

................so are the Polarg M17 light bulbs bright er than stock city lights or not?

nope, not the Polarg brand. the output is bluish/white, but the brightness is probably 1/2 of the factory bulb's output.

Take a look at the pic: Click to zoom in.... you can't see the inside of the bulb, which tells you how heavy the blue coating is.
