MY09 Rear Cluster - Brake Bulb

Oreo5000 · Nov 26, 2011

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me which is the correct bulb to use for the brake light in the MY09 light cluster?
I took my old cluster apart but that had a completely different bulb type in it. This one seems to be a wedge.

Cheers,
Nick

Tells you in the handbook mate - could be a wedge but why not take it out and swap it with the other side. If it then works then you know it's a wedge !

Handbook wont be right mate as I fitted the MY09's to my 2008 which had the older cluster, of which the bulbs are different.
I got it out and it was indeed a wedge, the one that had blown was a Toshiba W16W 921.
I went to my local autoparts store and the guy gave me a replacement but when I got home I noticed it was 21W.
I've fitted it and it works fine but will the wattage difference cause a problem?

Won't cause a problem but will be brighter than the other side !

Why not change both to keep brightness the same ?
