Which W21W to buy: standard, brighter or long life

  • Standard: the classic incandescent bulb; cheap and no dashboard warnings.
  • LED: whiter light and lower power draw. On turn signals and brake lights they can cause hyperflash or bulb-out warnings: choose CANbus versions or add load resistors.
  • Long life: handy where bulbs are hard to reach (tail lights or dome lights).

Frequently asked questions

What is a W21W bulb?+

The W21W is a 21 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a W3x16d base. It’s also sold as T20, 7440 and 582.

Is the W21W the same as the PY24W?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (W3x16d on the W21W) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

Can I replace a W21W with an LED?+

Yes, LEDs are common for turn signals, parking, license plate and dome lights. Pick CANbus versions or use load resistors to avoid hyperflash and bulb-out warnings, and keep the correct color (amber for turn signals, red for brake lights).
