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:

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:

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.

David Hayes 03-23-15 04:03 PM

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.

1SikFDRx7 03-23-15 04:10 PM

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.

David Hayes 03-23-15 04:16 PM

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.

1SikFDRx7 03-23-15 04:40 PM

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.

1SikFDRx7 03-24-15 03:00 PM

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.

David Hayes 03-24-15 03:03 PM

^ 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
