Questions & Answers
Before making a purchase, you should first determine the size of your vehicle's signal lights. You might be able to find it there if you have the owner's manual. Also, the size of the bulb depends on the series of your car's manufacturer.
This isn't a Halogen lamp.
Before I bought it, I did some research and discovered that it had 302 lumens. However, there is no mention of it on the packaging. It's 26. 9 watts.
When lit, it is clear with an orange coating on top, giving it an orange glow.
Selected User Reviews For OSRAM Sylvania 1156A Long Life Miniature Bulb, (Contains 2 Bulbs)
These fit my 2000 Nissan Xterra perfectly. I was tempted to try 1157 or 1156 because they were both readily available at a local brick and mortar store, whereas these 1156As were not. The 1157, on the other hand, has two rather than one electrical contact on the bottom, and the 1156 is white rather than amber. In addition, ordering these 1156As from Amazon saves you money in the long run. These have only recently been installed in my Xterra. They've been found to be compatible and have a good amount of brightness. Enough is enough. br>br>Replacement is straightforward, but if you need assistance, look up "Xterra 2000 turn signal" on YouTube for a tutorial. Wear gloves or at the very least cover the new bulbs with a shirt/cloth to avoid getting oil on them from your hands. Because the bulbs heat up as they operate, any oil on their surface will also heat up, potentially damaging the glass.
I had LED bulbs in it at first, but before selling the car, I removed them and replaced them with these. They are standard bulbs, and the new owner should expect them to last a long time. On the dashboard, there were no problems, complaints, or errors.
When I went online to look for the right size bulb to replace a burnt out rear blinker in my 2013 Hyundai Elantra, I was told this was the one. When Amazon asked me to verify my car's make, model, and year, it told me it wasn't the right bulb, but I bought it anyway, and it fits perfectly and works perfectly!.
Before deciding on these as a replacement, I looked for BMW bulbs. It works flawlessly.
I read on the internet that this was the correct bulb for my Lexus, so I ordered it from Amazon. They got it to me the next day, which was amazing! My turn signal was replaced, and it appears to be working properly so far. It appears to be a fairly common bulb with a reasonable price tag. Aside from that, there's nothing noteworthy to report. If the quality is poor, I will return to update this review later.
Nobody is concerned with the appearance of your bulbs; instead, invest in something that will last. Electric potential is converted into heat and light in these light bulbs. It's quite nice. br>br>So, you're considering switching to LEDs, eh? Because it believes your bulbs are out, the small box that makes your blinkers blink will most likely make them blink even faster with LED bulbs. So you go out and buy a big ol' resistor to solve the problem. So now you have some cheap Chinese junk that is unreliable and will break down at any time. Oh - You don't realize they've gone out because you have that resistor on there! br>br>Buy these for yourself. These are just as good as any other, but Sylvania is a reputable brand with a long track record. Take advantage of these opportunities. The LEDs should not be purchased. Except for you, nobody cares about their appearance.
They aren't listed on Amazon as fitting my 1993 Honda Del Sol S, but they do. They function properly.
Hopefully, this review will be seen by another velostorian. I was a little hesitant to buy this because Amazon said it wouldn't fit in my car. According to my owner's manual, this is the correct size for my replacement bulb. As a result, I decided to take a chance and buy it. These wheels fit perfectly on my 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. So far, everything has gone well. If this review is seen by another velostorian, it will be helpful.
