Light tech info

Hello this is my first thread and i was trying to figure out why on the turn signal relocation why do i need to use a bigger bulb in it instead of using the stock one

 

mmmmmmmm,dont know either, welcome.

 

what write up are you using?

 

I don't know how far you are, but this is by far the best write-up

i have been looking at that one and my question is why cant i use the stock socket i know that the stock one is smaller then the other replacement socket

 

I'm planning on doing this mod too because I want to convert my current front turn signals to fog lights. From what I understand the reason for using the bigger bulb and socket is the need for dual filaments - parking and turn signal. The stock socket isn't made for a dual filament bulb, so I'd bet that the guys who invented this mod went with the smallest replacement parts they could. It's not perfect but it's cool.

 

ok now i get it thanks for the help now i just have to find time to do that mod

 

Yeah, me too! Glad I could help.

 

btw - here's a link I also like I found in another thread that might be helpful.
