Reverse light bulb

Ordered myself some fancy 50 led reverse light bulbs. Went to fit them this morning. Original bulb is push fitting rather than the bayonet I assumed. Doh
Can anyone tell me what type I'm after now? I.e. 501 382 etc
Cheers

Japanese style LED bulbs are quite rare and expensive .. and not really brighter than the cheaper Tungsten 21watt ..

I thought mine weren't bad either.....
They were something like this on mine.
Paul, for the life of me i can't remember if you have the new shape or not..? Though i spent a fair bit of time crawling over it.
Hows Friday looking?

The above pic is the bayonet style and quite easy ..cheapish to source ... but not so the big cap less bulbs as used on many Japanese cars and motor bikes,

I was given some 382 type led bulbs.....these come with a spotlamp type lens.
Absolutely fantastic...as to the origin....would need to speak to The Laird on here.

I just tried some of the led ones similar to
Jaylees ones. They didn't fit properly and ended up
Not working. Put some new filament ones in, instead.

There are actually two types of bulb, one is "off set" with the tabs at the base... The ones in the picture i posted ignore...
Bongo bulbs at the rear are off set..

Why has this been moved from tech to pimp?

All bulbs have a general model type:-
501,286,380,380,410,472 That sort of thing.
The bulb you want had a 382 designator. That would be 21W single post bayonet if a normal tungsten bulb.
Talk to The Laird..........he gave me a couple of 382 equivalent bulbs that are superb.
