FWIW I have used some '100w" hi beams. They are really 70W actual current draw. Work better than the 55w and no overheating problems. You can also get some back up lamps that are a couple watts brighter (18w vs 16w OEM) at the hardware store in the outside lighting yard light section.

I also see they make fog lamps that are a direct fit that are higher wattage. PGJ13 base same as the 881, 27w. 886 50w, 889 27w, 894 38w, 896 38w, 898 38w.

 

^^^^props for good info...

 

By the way, I used your chart and purchased some replacement bulbs for my Gen Coupe. My coupe did have the 1156 bulb. I didn't check before attempting to replace them. The connecting tabs are different and I had to slightly force the replacements so they would fit. They are working though. Maybe the cars in the 'States' have different bulbs.

 

what about the hid bulb size? is it d1s?

 

Yes, the 3.8 GT & both Track models use Xenon HID bulb D1S.

updated OP above.

 

So, as a complete n00b to this, how exactly does one go about looking for replacements? Do you walk into an auto parts store and ask for the model(s) listed in the OP, or do the models change with bulb make? What are some good, commonly-available brands?

In particular, I would really like to find a higher wattage (brighter) replacement for my GC's high beams. They don't seem very good at all, especially on these really dark winter nights.

 

Bulb sizes are the same regardless of the company - the only thing they might do is add suffix letters like if you had a bulb that was 921 in size ... you might find 921ST where the ST is some tweak that particular bulb has from whatever the company is (specifically I think ST means Silverstar if I remember right). If you go to a local auto part store they will not have much of anything better than Sylvania Silverstars which are not half bad but they are halogen - they have been good to me for years. They have very bright white light and I had a set of Silverstar headlights last over 5 years in my truck that I drove daily. If you want LED bulbs the best you will likely find at one of those stores as far as brand is APC. You can find better LEDs from sites online but I would first look at vids of how other cars with the same model bulbs work and how the bulbs look - there are many videos out there. Diode Dynamics is having a sale on the 27th for one day and the prices are good, but, as I said try to find some video examples of the exact types/styles you're thinking of buying.

 

Trunk: 2x 31mm festoon (6418)194

Wanted to point out that I just replaced my trunk light with an LED board from DiodeDynamics and there was only one OEM bulb in there, not two.

Thanks, I'll adjust the list. I copied this list from elsewhere, sorry.

 

No worries. That one was a pretty easy catch (not easy to mistake one bulb for two). Is the model of bulb still correct?

 

I have not confirmed any of these bulbs yet personally, since I copied this list from somewhere else. I would recommend double checking prior to purchase.

 

I took all the bulbs out of the holders to get the actual part numbers on my Track 2L with HIDs and fogs.

Here they are.


Front
Lo Beam-HID DS1 35w Orsam from Germany
Hi beam- H1 55w
Turn/park-2357 28/8w amber
Side marker 194 5w clear
Fog 881 27w, note: the 881 is a single filament bulb with a PGJ13 base same as 886 50w, 889 27w, 894 38w, 896 38w, 898 38w

Map/Dome 921 10w
Vanity festoon 5w

Back
Turn 1156 27w clear
Outside brake/tail 1157 27/6w clear
Backup 921 16w clear
Inside brake/tail 1157 27/8w clear
Trunk festoon 5w

 

Here's a few links I found on H11b:

HIDs for the H11b's - Hyundai Forum: Hyundai Performance Forum
H11b crap don't buy that sht H11 work - ElantraXD.com

Sounds like its likely just a connector mod and not in the housing. Possibly just modding the plastic and not the connector electrodes. Moe with Halo confirmed for me that the mod is really that easy.

 

What Temperature HIDs are the stock low beams on the Track 3.8?

 

I was told it was 4300k

 

hey so total noob question but if you want the yellow fogs do you have to get a yellow bulb or a yellow cover?

 

Either, but yellow tint looks best IMO out of ways to do yellow fogs.

 

also whats the difference between H11 and H11B? sorry ha ha

 

Check out this thread:
http://genesisforums.org/sparkplugs-com/18028-halo-light-bulbs-now-available.html

Different style connection is all.

 

great thanks for all the info

 

thats sweet!! now i will be able to get some aftermarket bulbs!! stupid H11B! thanks for the info!!

 

"Front "parking" light (next to the high beam bulb): 168/194
Front blinkers: 2357. 1157 replacement bulbs will fit right in and work just as well."

Aren't those the same thing...so why are there 2 separating listings... I am about to buy stealth turn signal bulbs but I don't wanna get the wrong ones...I want the replacement for the front turn signal bulb that is closest to the grill of the car...which I am assuming is the only turn signal in the front...


Thanks guys!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I don't own a genesis, but you are correct, the blinker is closest to the grill. However the parking light or running light is on the other side of the headlight assembly, so two seperate bulbs.

 

Yeh the only thing that has me confused is it says the bulb next to the high beam...which is the turn signal lol

 

Where are you reading this?

 

In the thing that I quoted...it contradicts itself lol

 

Thanx HID's on the way!

Quote: "Using high-quality bulbs, they are dipped in a highly reflective electroplating for a mirror finish, getting rid of the amber color from inside your lenses. When illuminated, a bright amber color shines like your present bulbs, keeping your local law enforcement happy and DOT compliant.

What makes InvisiLite bulbs different than others?

InvisiLites feature an electroplating process that gives the bulb a mirror-like finish on the outside, while shining amber when lit. Some bulbs on the market are simply sprayed with silver paint or use cheap quality bulbs to keep costs low.

Silver Coating:
Coating thickness plays a very important part as we do not sacrifice safety for image. The coating is thin enough only to conceal the stock amber color but allow a maximum lighting effect when needed.

Lifetime Warranty
We stand behind our bulbs 100% and use them on our own vehicles. If a bulb should ever burn out, simply return the set for replacement. We want you to feel confident in knowing these will be the last set of bulbs you purchase for your vehicle.

What's Included:
A set of bulbs is not enough. We include everything needed for a quick an easy upgrade for your stock bulbs.

- 1156 InvisiLite Silver Bulbs (Pair)
- Pair Latex Gloves for bulb handling
- Rugged carrying tube for old lamps or Emergency Kit
- Care and Handling instructions for installation

The #1156 InvisiLite Silver Bulb are OEM replacements for your factory signal bulbs."

BTW...Those interested in InvisiLite bulbs, search European Auto Source. The only ones that match up are the 3 I listed.

Sweet! Pics and/or impressions, please.

 

Tufast, if you don't mind, could you post before and after pics of your car with your new light bulbs? I'd like to see how those Halo Platinum White bulbs compare to the stock halogens.

 

No problem

 

You're welcome. The light from the fogs is brighter and more crisp if that make any sense

 

To pull out the OEM bulbs do you need to remove the whole headlight? I looked at the back and it doesnt look like you can take out the blubs with the headlights still in??? Does anyone know? Is there anyone got some documentation they can link to me?

 

Yes you need to pull out the whole lamp assembly to change all the bulbs easiest, especially the high beam bulb H1. After you take out the main headlight on the driver side you can reach through underneath to disconnect and screw out the foglight bulb to change it too. But for the passenger side foglight bulb, you have to remove the splashguard underneath it, which is bolted to the bumper, and fit your hand through from underneath.

 

Thanks for the info, now to take out the headlight assembly do you need to remove the front bumper or something? I was looking at it and I only see the two top screws you remove with a 10mm socket. Then I was looking at the rest of it and dont see how it comes out?

 

i ordered yellow led lights for the front turn signal lamp (1157). and when i got them they are just the bulb. I tried pulling the stock ones out of their pod and couldnt....am I not pulling hard enough or to replace these bulbs you need the a whole new pod with the light attached already?
