Arrow Need Angel Eye bulb #

I tried searching on google through xoutpost threads but everything i clicked has something to do with people upgrading to leds etc.


Both my pass light angel eye bulbs went out yesterday and i want the same looking amber replacements...


Anyone have links on where to get them? Id probably want to get 2 anyways so i have a spare...


Does it only use 1 bulb for both angel eyes or 2? And i didnt look yet but im assuming they are accessible by popping hood, no need to remove lights or anything?

1 bulb for each side, its a tight squeeze but can be done without dropping the bumper/pulling the headlight out from what I know.

From TwinsPoppa quoted in an old thread:

Stock bulb is Philips 12082, 12V, 10W.


Not sure if they make an amber replacement but you can search?

Ok. I have found how to replace that bulb into the stock socket thing, otherwise they make you buy a whole new screw in holder thing...

Just gonna put this here in case anyone needs it in future: Volvo Performance Repairs And Modifications


Whats the consensus on led bulbs? Will any 30-40$ ebay ones look good? Or are they crap?

Consensus has been discussed much before, just buy the Cree replacement LED bulbs, I think they run about 50-60 on ebay.

Spending 150-200 is not going to make them any brighter, the fact that 2 rings are lit with one bulb and the optics of the rings themselves only allow for so much brightness. You should be very happy with the color of the LED replacements though, be sure to code off cold monitoring for the LED angel eye bulbs so that they dont flicker on startup.

Looks like that the closest i will get, the other ones seem to use an actual bulb type vs specialty like ours so much more options.
