Can anyone confirm this for an FR? I had a look and there are 2 seperate lights but not too sure?
this should be an easier list to look at (based on 2010 twin headlight)

Yeah, just thought I'd let everyone know. The reversing light is NOT a R10W at all. In fact it's not even a bayonett type fitting.
Its a W16W (written on the light unit and confirmed with my own two eyes looking at the bulb)
See Here
I know that link says brake light, but that's it more common use and if it's not behind a red lens it will be "white"...
[RANT]I'm UBER peed off with SEAT about this, cos my reversing light went, so I checked the book, checked here and (no agro at the op here, it does say extract) both rekon 245, but believe me, it's the wrong size, shape, wattage and type to fit the unit. Methinks I'll be having a word at the stealers about giving me a free bulb seen as until I took the unit out and looked I didn't know I'd got the wrong bulb... and the bulb in question (W16W) isn't mentioned ANYWHERE in the manual!!![/RANT]

Thanks for the update. I've changed the first post so no one else gets duped by the manual.
Keep at SEAT, it's the least they can do given that it's their mistake. You'd've thought that o something as important as the manual that every detail would be checked and double checked before printing off several thousand of them.

Could it be that the 5-door uses R10W even though the SC doesn't?
I seem to remember reading that they are different. My 5-door has one reversing light each side and I believe I read that the SC has only one.

Hmm, must admit I hadn't thought of that.... and the SC does only have one (the other is blanked off). Either way, it should mention it in the manual!
Ibiza Owners Club (if I may mention that here!) have a guide to a 5-door:-

In the picture It certainly looks like an R10W. What's more there seem to be two stop-tail lamps each side.

On Single Headlights, do not buy leds for indicator.
It doesn't fit the optic.
I bought this ones :581-360-degree-amber-led-bulb-pair @ autobulbsdirect
They are too large to fit the optics. Gonna try to put em on the rear optics.

Just been out to look at my 5 Door Sport (2011 model) and the reversing bulbs dare R10W.
And are quite pathetic for reversing! I think they must be 'to be seen, not to see'....!
R10W is correct for 5D models. I think if you want more light, you can replace them with SMD LED bulbs, but I think your dash will light up for error.

HELP PLEASE haha
hey guys, total newb here, never posted before but read several posts, some gooood stuff on here. I have a seat ibiza cupra mk5/6J which does NOT have Bi-Xenon headlights, does anybody know how I could get that bright white/blue look of the Xenons by just changing the bulbs possibly?
Cheers

cheers, do they look anything similar to xenons or is clearly noticable that they are not xenons? Also, I read on here that using higher power bulbs such as these can cause issues with the wiring overheating? Is this likely to happen or a common issue do you know?
many thanks
many thanks
Dont think anybody has had that issue so far.
You can definately tell that they aren't xenons, the same way you can tell HID aren't them and just blind the absolute crap out of you!
anyway...they'll just produce a near white light instead of the yellow colour.

Ive got the ultra bulbs and they do make a hell of a difference in terms of light output onto the tarmac. you can tell they are not HIDs or Xenons, they just are a white light, and do look rather sharp. for less than a tenner, you have a great upgrade/mod.

Thanks guys. So not only do they produce a better quality light they look much better aswell because the only thing I am really trying to achieve is the visual look. Have you just replaced the main bulbs shelby or the sidelights and fogs etc? I dont suppose you would mind sending me the link to the site or the details of where you got yours from please . I know I probably sound dumb but I'm fairly new to the mod game haha. Also, any idea of how much a set of ibiza cupra 17" Sira alloys hardly used in mint condition would fetch as I have a set I may consider selling at some point?
Many Thanks

So the Ultra headlight bulbs give more useable light than the standard ones?
Not bothered about looks, I'd rather be able to see at night

in my opinion, they give off more light, especially noticeable when driving along dark lanes wityh no streetlighting, the whole place is lit up a treat.
re: where to buy, good old ebay, and do a search for ultra bulbs H7 for the dipped beam, H7 for the full beam, W5W for the 4 little sidelights, and HB4 for the front fogs. Ive not changed the front fogs yet, bit of a chore involving bumper removal etc, so will get round to it soon enough.
Go to the Mk5 Ibiza FAQ list, and there is a bulb list thread and a how to guide for alot of the bulbs. worth checking out for sure.
Also, no idea bout the 17" wheels either I'm afraid....
