Front marker light bulb

Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Front marker light bulb

Post by Mazdax605 »

Hello all,

My white lens front bumper marker light bulb has burned out. I don't know what else to call it. It's the front lamp assembly that houses the amber turn signal, and the white lamp that comes on with the first turn of the light switch, or with the fog light switch. It's the only front facing light aside from the headlights. The housing says it's an R19/5 bulb, and the bulb say 5W and 12V on it. My local parts place only had a similar size bulb in 7W, 13W and larger. I bought the 7W, but I'm thinking it might create too much heat. Where can I get this R19/5 bulb?

R19/5 is now called R5W, if that helps. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_a ... bulb_types)

I would probably keep the 7W bulb- the housing can't be *that* close to melting with a 5W- but I have a spare set of lamps somewhere.

(I would call it a park light, or a front position lamp if I were being fancy.)
Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.
