Lighting Questions ** Types of Lights

Hello everyone. I just got my smart car yesterday, in massachusettes. I love it. I wanted to ask the question of what size lights it takes. I know it takes an H7 xenon light for both the low beams and the high beams, but what wattage of an H7 bulb. And does anyone know a good place to get them???

The other question i have is what kind of light is the interior dome light, the one used for maps or whatever.

The final question is what kind of brake lights does it have, i was thinking of putting in LED brake lights, any thoughts on where to get them online?


Thanks

Try either an auto supply store or the dealer. An auto supply should have just about any bulb you need

I'm not sure about wattage but I have a set of Mcculloch HID lights waiting to go in on Tuesday. I will have a full install tutorial and before and afters for everyone to see.

For all the smaller LED lights I would recommend www.V-leds.com but I must warn you that they have very poor communication and customer service. I began to think I was getting completely hosed but in the end I got a portion of my money back.

It's sad that their service was so poor because I was really anticipating their product and looking forward to sharing a great experience but it was actually my second to worse parts shopping experience.

Hey, thanks for the advice on where to get it,

A question that i think was overlooked, does anyone know what type of light the interior dome light takes... i want to get it in blue or something, so that when you turn it on, it lights up the compartment blue.. would that be cool, or am i just thinking something crazzy up?

The owners Manual tells you the type of light for the dome light.
