99 spec oem turn signals
 

I bought a used set of 99 spec oem turn signals. But the sale did not include light bulb sockets I did see I can buy the wiring harnesses for corksport but they also don't include light bulb sockets. I did try the usdm light bulb sockets and no go. Also did do a search and also no go. Any idea where to buy them or which ones do other forum members use?

I have the same question. I bought the knightsport harness, but don't have bulb sockets either.

Might be easier to just buy the replica 99 spec lights on ebay. I haven't seen any place selling the bulb harness.

Any one???

Any one?

I'm going to take a stab in the dark because I'm not near a late model car right now... Are any of these bulb holders candidates?

Globe Holders - Products - Narva

You can try Automotive Electrical Connector Pigtails, Terminals, Tools and More I've seen Lap Sockets there before.

Can any body confirm that this is what the plugs look like on the original 99 spec turn signal lamps?

very strange...

I had a shop install my 99 bumper on my last FD. gave em that same harness you have pictured, along with the combo lights, and I got it back with working turn signals..


are you *sure* the usdm sockets don't fit....?

This is what mine look like. BTW; I didn't have to buy anything to make everything fit.

rhdjapan can source them for you new.

RHD japan's harness is the exact same that he has pictured in the first post....

also, it theirs is same harness I gave to the body shop that had no problem using the existing sockets..

Yup I did try just the stock usdm ones and they did not work. To me it looks like I can modify them to fit but I wanted to do this right and get the 99 spec light bulb sockets. If the shop installed yours then all they did was modified the usdm ones to fit the 99 spec lamps.

Do the 99 spec lamps and the usdm lamps even share the same bulbs? Any one know

Can anyone confirm that both usdm and 99 spec turn signal lamps do take the same bulbs? Also I did send rhdjapan an email about the 99 spec light bulb harnesses and they want part numbers. Crazy I know

lol, part number? they are dumb:


FEED Zenki Lamp to Kouki Combination Lenses Harness kit FD3S - RHDJapan

the op is in need of the sockets not the harness, and I could have swore that I've seen them listed on rhdjapan site before. I think there is an updated mazda parts # file somewhere on the forum?

I thought some of the auto parts stores sold them, take the signals in there and try out the sockets they have, buy bulbs. Do a REAL re pin or splice properly. Just because it's a rarer car doesn't mean EVERY part is impossible to find. Maybe then don't have it. But I'm willing to bet if they do it's cheaper and faster than ordering "overnight parts from japan"

Thank bud. But the harness I am looking for is the light bulb harness it self the one the mounts to the 99 spec turn signal lamps. Not the harness that clips to the stock harness.

Take 1 of them to an auto parts store... Tell the guy you need sockets for them and he will have a like of crap to try and compare. 20$ later you'll have your sockets

Bump

Can anyone confirm that both usdm and 99 spec turn signal lamps do take the same bulbs?

the 99 bulb sockets are

F138-51-064 and F138-51-09X. probably not available in the US, although i wonder if a Protege or MPV of similar vintage would use something similar.

the bulbs are a 904 and that new fangled turn signal one that goes in the holder (its like an 1157 turn signal bulb but with a blade connection instead of the round)

Thank you sir! This info will definitely help.

i Know this is old but im in the same boat. Did anyone ever figure out where to get the socket harness from? i notice on my oem light harness its a 3 prong bulb socket. The lights i received with no harness is a 4 prong light socket. can some one take a pic of the ebay depo light socket harness that comes with the lights. I see the one online but i actually need to see where it twists inside of the socket itself.

The Depo lights come with a 3 prong (cutout) bulb socket, meaning the back of the housing has 3 cutout tabs. I have a set at home and just checked them as they are different than the set of housings I completed work on from RX7 Boutique. That set has a 4 prong housing.

The "typical" 1156/1157 socket is a 4 plug/prong unit and you can buy the sockets with pigtail wiring from www.superbrightleds.com. Have 4 of them at home and they are a good quality.

is this it? I notice on my lights that it a 4 prong but one is smaller than the other. do you happen to have the link to the big one and small one for a 4 prong? ://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/empty-bases-sockets/ba15-base-wired-sockets/1147/

There is one large tab and three smaller tabs. Here is the link:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...-sockets/1147/

They fit my RX7Boutique lights perfectly. Nice and snug and good quality. $1.95 per socket with pigtail as well. I actually have the 1157 units as I am doing some cool custom wiring to turn the signal into a "switchback" unit so I can use the turn signals as DRLs and them switch them over to turn signals as needed. :icon_tup:

here is a pic of mine one on right is larger than the other.

Attachment 628182

not the prongs\tabs itself. im talking about the actual size of the bulb socket. one is smaller than the other but both have 4 twist prongs\tabs.

The opening on the right (turn signal) is an 1156 socket and then one on the left (parking light) is a T10/194 socket. I know they carry the wired sockets for the 1156 side and I think for the 194 opening also.

ok Thank you! if you find a link, could you please post it for the smaller one. This will be very helpful for all. I think the 99 4 prong lights are starting to not come with harnesses anymore like mine.

I think this one will work:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...d-socket/1150/

ebay has a bunch of them as well. The only thing I don't like is the t10/194 sockets don't seem to have a rubber seal on them to make them waterproof. Can't remember of the OEM ones do but I think so.

yes they have rubber and i just went out to the garage. my little one was a 4 prong but not my big one. lol its a tight fit to get in and just needs to be filed a little on the new lights. it was dark when i tried and assumed it wouldnt work. i know that my bigger one is 3 so im going to order that 1156 plug socket. hopefully this will work. Thanks Again for the help!

^ Unless I am missing something here, the pic you posted shows both openings (the right one being the 1156 socket and the left the T10/194 socket) are 4 prong openings. So, not sure what you mean by a 3 prong opening.

If the pic you posted is from your lights, then the link I gave you to the 1156 sockets will work. If you have a set of Depos that you are trying to fit and they are not the ones in the pic, then they are probably like mine and they have 3 prong sockets for the larger 1156 sockets. The smaller T10/194 socket on the Depo unit is a 4 prong socket so that remains the same.

So, to summarize, the Depo units are different on the 1156 (large) opening as they have a 3 prong socket, not a 4. If that is what you have, then the link I provided for the 1156 sockets will not work without some modifications to the prongs or the housing.

I don't know where to find an 1156 3 tab socket like the ones I have on my Depo units.

No my factory harness socket is 3 prong. yes the lights i ordered in the pic is 4 prong. what i was saying is that when i first initially tried to install them it was dark and when i tried to plug the oem plug into my new lights on the large side it wouldn't fit. I tried the small one as well and it wouldnt fit. i assumed it was 3 prong on my oem harness. but it is a little 4 prong like you said . i just needed to file it some to get it to go in. so i placed an order for the 4 prong socket off the site you gave me to replace my big 3 prong one.

^ That is interesting. I don't have the car in front of me with the OEM spec lights to check out but I would swear what I have is a 4 prong. Now the Depo set I have here in my garage are a 3 prong and the RX7 Boutique ones I am installing on the car are 4 prongs.

Interesting but glad I could hook you up with a 4 prong socket.

So what lightbulb harnesses would be a good replacement for the original 99spec Stanley's? Here are pics of the my original 99spec lights and yes they are four prong. Please give me some links to both harnesses the small light bulb socket and the big light bulb socket. Thank you

Here are pics of the oem 93-95 rx7 lights. The bigger light bulb socket is a three prong with one prong bigger then the other two. The smaller light bulb socket is a four prong with two bigger prongs then the other two smaller ones.

Thanks for clearing that up. It seems the Depo units are different as they have a 3 prong socket.

So, for your lights, you can use the links I posted earlier.

1156 socket and pigtail:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/more...-sockets/1147/

Make sure to order the 1156 (BA15S) units.

T10/194 socket and pigtail:



Like I posted earlier, the 1156 socket comes with a waterproof seal and fits snugly. I am finishing up a retrofit LED set of 99 spec turn signals and I'll post up some pics, hopefully later today.

The problem with the T10 sockets I previously posted is they are "twist lock" units and I don't think they will work. However, the link above is to some T15 sockets that are waterproof and that I believe will work. If I understand this correctly, the base of the T10 and T15 sockets are the same, it's just the tops of the bulbs that vary. So, a T15 socket should hold a T10 bulb no problems. If I am correct, then the T15 wired sockets I've listed should fit and work nicely. They look just like the 4 prong T10 sockets I have here from my Depo set. Maybe someone can give them a try and report back.

The oem little 4 prong will work with your 99 spec little 4 prong. All you need to order is the 1156 socket plug he posted and wire it to you factory harness. mine worked fine
