    I believe you just have to search for the bulb type - which in the table's case, is on the right column.

    Just as Ares said, don't forget to really know about the colour temperature you want (see chart under)

    those numbers are original wattage which are installed from the factory. If you change them to led, the wattage will likely be much less.

    Hi skajan!

    Please forget about replacing the headlamp bulb with that LED bulb in the picture.

    It would provide you about as much visibility as parking lamps do! Besides it would be illegal and of course dangerous.

    It probably says somwhere in the fine prints that it is for show only or something like that.

    It got me excited too a few years back when I saw that LED replacement headlamp bulb,but looking into it further I quickly learned that headlamps,low beams specifically are the result of an extremely precise design process.

    To produce the legal low beam light, so you can see the road ahead and yet not blind oncoming traffic, the shape of the mirror,the size and exact location of the bulb filament within the headlamp assembly has to be very precisely designed.

    To the point where even if the correct bulb is installed incorrectly or incompletely,the beam will be all wrong,kind of like a high beam light pattern.

    So imagine all those little LEDs on that simulated headlamp bulb are in the wrong location compared to the factory bulb's filament when installed.

    The driver of the car equipped with that LED bulb would not see any better than just having the parking lights on.

    Also I learned from my own experiment that the Mirage will not tolerate an LED tail lamp(/brake lamp) bulb neither!
    It will actually cause a driveability issue where the car will not want to go past 45MPH!! It somehow confuses the modules/computers in the car,turns the ABS,traction control lights on etc.

    You can purchase led bulbs for 194 or W5W replacement and replace your front parking lamps (two per headlamp with the amber corner bulb so total of 4), your tag lamps (2), trunk or cargo area lamp (1) and dome lamp (wich is a different kind of bulb than these mentioned earlier) and they will work without a problem.

    I have a thread on my experience here: http://mirageforum.com/forum/showthr...rs-plate-etc-)

    I have left the turn signal bulbs factory because I did not know if I will run into a problem with electronic flashers or any other issues.

    Cheers!
