Purple parking lights

Postby Shaheenis » Wed Nov 27, 2013 10:54 pm

Hey there. Were these standard? Mine has bluey purple front parkers (more purple than blue) and they look very cool and could be factory. Can anyone confirm? I think one has just blown so I will be up for a replacement.

Cheers,

They came with halogens stock, so a previous owner has probably changed the bulbs over.

Blue/purple parkers as stock? No way - all factory parkers are standard 4300K halogen globes (warm white - a yellowish tinge).

Pull yours out and you'll probably find they are aftermarket LEDs.

And don't put in anything other than white unless you want to be defected when you least expect it.

The look sick and subtle and I won't change them. This is for the parkers only and they look factory. I will remove this weekend and see if I can ID them.

I have however noted that the spotties are yellow and ghey so I want to replace them ASAP as I never use them.

They can't "look factory" because factory parkers are not blue or purple! :lol:

Subaru Liberty parkers are T10 type.

Here are a couple of photos taken tonight. Really hard to take photos of lights but out of all of them these probably show the truest colour.

They 'Could' be these (Purple LED's), but I have a feeling it may actually be blue (something like this Blue LED's)

Yup. Factory are 4300K globes (not LED) with a distinctive classic yellow look to them. What you have is definitely 8000-12000K in temp giving the blue/purple hint.

Cool thanks guys. They actually don't look so coloured on the vehicle because usually they are on at the same time as headlights and just give a different hue. I really like them, they should be factory. As it turns our the one I thought was buggered is ok so I won;t be needing to pull them out.
