I was just wondering are all bulbs the same size? Because i was checking on Ebay and they say their bulbs will fit into anything, so are all bulbs universal? Also if anyone knows, which Xenon (halogen) bulbs look the best? Theres all sorts of watts and numbers like 6000K.

Cheers.

Angry Bulb-hell !!!!!

I seem to have come across a HUGE issue on bulbs as I need to replace my '94 SZ headlights ones. All through Repco, Partsmaster, Supercheap Autos etc over here in NZ all the replacement bulbs have the lock-slots with two big and one small "locking-flap" around the edges of the base of the bulb. Well blow me away with an air gun, the Toyota ones all have it the opposite way around. Does ANYONE know how I can get around this ? It's gonna cost me apparrently $120 nzd to get one frickin replacement bulb !!!! WTF ???

Anyone know If there is a conversation (cheap and quick) that I can make or can I buy the aftermarket bulbs and cut down the locking slots to match the original ? This is driving me NUTS ! I want some HID bulbs yet can't seem to fit the damned things.

Pleeeeeeeeeease can someone assist ?

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
