Default Are those 2 7440 bulbs per headlight I see.....

I am ordering some new piaas to put in and I want to make sure I am getting it right.

What I need per headlight?
(1) D4S
(1) 9005
(1) 168
(2) 7440
(1) 9006 foglight

If both bulbs in the turn signal aren't 7440 what are they? Thanks.

2 7440 are for the rear turn signal, that i know, front i dunno.

I got these for my rears but im not satisfied, its not bright enough imo. Gonna have to order the SMT next. The back bulbs point downwards...

Well I have to remove my bumper anyways because I broke the lower grille. I guess you have to remove the bumper replace that as well. Stupid design on Toyotas part. The grille should snap in and the bulbs should no be so invasive to change. So I figured I might as well replace my bulbs with some 4100K Piaas while my bumper was off.

be aware that if you replace your signals with led bulbs, you'll get that fast blinker thing.

Yea had that problems with my gfs 06 civic. had to take them out. Never did figure out how to get them to blink properly. People said I need a new blinker module, but in order to get that Id have to know where it was in the car to find out which one I needed.

the blinker module is underneath the dash somewhere. turn on your hazards and stick your head where your feet go and look up. listen and feel around for the box that's making the clicking noise. that'll be your blinker module.

Yea but I heard that if you replace the flasher relay, when you lock and unlock your doors, the blinkers won't flash.

Yea thats what I have been told for our cars, but I am not interested in doing this to my car, I was trying to do it to my gfs 06 civic. But even if I could find the blinking relays where would I get new ones and which new ones would I buy?
