The Honda Stepwagon / Stepwgn Owners Club

Hi again, what about light bulbs, where can you buy the bulbs 18w and 21v/5w's brake light and reversing light's from.
Thanks again Ben.

I guess these are standard universal bulbs - H4 or H7. You will need to remove them to check. I guess they are the same as those used on CRV's too.

Have a look at http://www.powerbulbs.com/headlight-bulbs.asp?cat1=39

for good price and lots of diagrams to pick the right one from ... I recommend Philips X-treme Power headlight bulbs.

RF3 Stepwagons use H4 headlights - I am replacing my standard ones with Osram Night Breaker bulbs ... 90% extra light - I will take some photos of before and after fro those who are interested. I have used Philips x-treme on my other vehicles and have been well impressed.

I also bought some plastic headlamp restorer liquid and this also made a good improvement - just £6.99 from my local car shop but well worth doing. When I was looking at Stepwagons before we bought ours, I noticed a lot of 1996/1997 stepwagons had cloudy headlamps so check yours!

Here is a photo showing the comparison which I took as I switched over.



and fully converted (with bonnet open in case you were wondering!)



Let me know if you are changing yours ... you can buy a set of H4 Osram NightBreaker bulbs with free Philips BlueVision W5W side lamp bulbs from http://www.powerbulbs.com/ for around £18 a set (best price I found)

Undoubtedly good for you. What's the effect on people coming in the other direction, though?

Not being critical, just genuinely curious.

Rob - not a problem as long as the lights are properly aligned - the bulbs are legal! (These are not a strong as the BMW HID Xenon Lights that cause a problem for the rest of us )

hid is the way to go had mine in for a year no problems .i would not go back to standard bulbs 6000k gives the best brightnes

Mine has clear lenses at the rear, look good but the problems are that I need to get red capless 12v5w, 12v21/5w and 12v 21w bulbs and yellow 12v21w.
I have seen yellow in Halfords, but I needed to go on the web for the red ones - I went via ebay and found them - 12v5w from <www.styleandperformance.co.uk>, 12v21/5w from <www.3prime-store.com> and the 12v21w from <www.powerfuluk.com> but these were 'clearance'.
I have not seen any 12v18/5w bulbs, but motor-cycle suppliers might have them.

usefull info ill give them a try myself as im in same situation i have clear lenses myself all ive been doing is gettin clear ones and applying red bulb paint but it dosent last as they look more pink than red cheers

Further to my previous post under the name PAR I have discovered that <www.powerfuluk.com> do both the 12V21/5W bulbs and the 12V21W ones, but not the 21V/5W.
The system failed to recognise me, so I have re-registered as PARR.
