Frequently asked questions

What is the 501 bulb and what is it used for?
The 501 is a 12V 5W capless wedge bulb, also designated W5W. It pushes straight into the holder with no metal cap or bayonet. It's typically used for sidelights, side markers, number plate lamps, and interior or instrument lighting.
How many 501 bulbs do I need?
501 bulbs are usually replaced in pairs so both sides match, such as the two front sidelights or number plate lamps. Order at least two for an even match rather than replacing just one failed bulb.
Is the 501 bulb the same as a W5W?
Yes, 501 and W5W refer to the same 12V 5W capless wedge bulb. 501 is the common trade number and W5W is the technical designation. Both describe the bulb that presses directly into the holder without a bayonet cap.
