Which WY5W 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).

To confirm which bulb each light on your car uses, follow the methods in how to find out which bulb your car takes.

Frequently asked questions

What is a WY5W bulb?+

The WY5W is a 5 W, 12 V automotive bulb with a W2.1x9.5d base. It’s also sold as 194A and 2827.

Is the WY5W the same as the P27W?+

No. Even if they look alike, each size has a different base (W2.1x9.5d on the WY5W) and won’t fit another size’s socket. Always buy the exact size your car takes.

Can I replace a WY5W 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).
