Does anyone know what bulb size is for the turn signal? Looking to buy some LED ones. :crying:

Yeah i bought some the other day. Was a pain in the ass to see what they were, no one could help me. Turns out they're 7440. I bought mine from Amazon for 27 bucks and they didn't need a resister. So far so goodDoes anyone know what bulb size is for the turn signal? Looking to buy some LED ones.

Can you post the Amazon link to what you bought? I'm leery of introducing hyper-flash and would like to go with something someone has proven to work properly.Yeah i bought some the other day.

That is a project I intend on doing and it's not that difficult according to the Owner's Manual (15 min job). I need help identifying a suitable Amber LED Bulb though. The Backup Lights can definitely be replaced with an LED T/16.Yes, I decided on the Sylvania Zevo 194 Bulbs as those are the same brand I had in my Hyundai previously. The fade is important too.... Looks classy! Hopefully these bulbs I ordered do that or I just might switch to the Philips ones like you have. Thanks for that info!
I've thought about that... Im kinda iffy on it. The reverse lights, do you have to take the entire rear assembly out to do so? The rear LED turn signals, I would worry about hyper flash and I don't feel comfortable installing any form of resistor. Know of any one who installed LED rear turn signals that had any experience using resistors or maybe even had success without them?
I'm with you on the ugly amber bulb, but someone posted an Expert Engineer response to why these bulbs should NOT be LED and it is worth more than an astute observation as there is real-world engineering behind the thinking. I'm going to leave the Amber alone because of that post. However, the backup lights need to be LED for me which is my next project.I honestly do not like the amber colored bulb inside the rear tail light assembly.
Yes, I understand the LED and how it shines is an issue. But the chrome tinted bulb that shines amber is available in the incandescent type. That's what I'll be getting :wink:I'm with you on the ugly amber bulb, but someone posted an Expert Engineer response to why these bulbs should _NOT_ be LED and it is worth more than an astute observation as there is real-world engineering behind the thinking.

No Problem.... I was having so much trouble finding the right bulbs for the 2019 Insight. I ended up just getting what would go in an '18/'19 Civic but I was really hesitant to make the decision with no real solid answer on the bulb type/size. I had the Sylvania ZEVO LED bulbs on the interior map/dome/ and trunk lights of my 2014 Hyundai Elantra Limited and had great success with them! I knew I wanted LED interior lights on my '19 Insight but the fact of not being real sure on the bulb size didn't sit well with me. Glad it worked out and have been really happy with the results. :smile:Thanks for sharing update on the rear turn signal and back-up light, as an addendum to your original LED Interior Light thread! You were "iffy" on swapping them out 9 months ago, but methinks you have now become our forum LED go-to resource.![]()
Haha! Better get em' changed! I really do think it gives an upscale/premium look to an already good looking car! :smile:Great. Just great. Now I need to go and do this. My only worry was hyper-flash, and you've shown me that is not a concern.
