580 Stop/tail Bulb Holder

TigerFish · February 17, 2011

Just received my LED fogs for my GS. The connector has a dual filament style connector so it can light up as a side light as well as full power for fog light. To utilise this, I'll need a couple of dual filament (580 type bulb) bulb holder. Does anyone know where I can get a couple, and how much they are? I guess it is the same as what is needed to do the IS fog lamp mod that folk do. I might as well hook in a diode to have it function as a stop and foglight too while

I'm at it. Any help much appreciated.

i got mine from a brakers mate you can buy the loom with the bulb holders but they are expensive..

you could try emailing a brakers on ebay(is200 car)and ask if he'd send you the small main rear light loom..

Cheers Ormi, Should be sorted now with a couple of IS200 looms. I'll stick the fogs in as standard for the time being, and then do the sidelight and brake light mod when the looms arrive.

Having just put the fogs in over lunchtime, I find that the GS already has dual sockets and bulbs in the fogs

Fortunately the ebayer hadn't come back on the buy it now for the looms so I have cancelled out of that

Just need to figure out where the wires for the second circuit go to. It could turn out simpler than I thought to get the sidelight side of the fogs working. I'll pop to Maplin later and pickup a couple of Diodes to sort the brake light side of it.
