Introduction

This is a quick hands-on reference and guide on two things:

• Which types of light bulbs are used in various positions in Jimny;
• How to replace them;

Bulb Types

Application	Bulb Fitting
Dipped and Main Beam	H4 (472)
Side/Parking Lamp	W5W (501)
Front Fog Lamp	H3 (453)
Rear main lamp + brake lamp	W21/5W
Reversing lamp	W21W
Rear license plate bulb	W5W
Interior cabin lamp	W5W

Notes on LED bulbs

• Jimnys 3 were not designed to use LED bulbs in any of their factory installed lamps. Therefore, using LED bulbs in Jimnys 3 is a non-standard modification, which might or might not be legal.
• The only case where there should be no legal issues at all when using LED bulbs is with interior cabin lamps.

This forum topipc contains some useful info regarding LED bulbs.

Fitting

Side/Parking Lamp

1. Open the bonnet
2. The side lamp bulb holder is located at the outer edge of the headlight assembly
3. Twist the bulb holder one quarter turn anti-clockwise to remove. If this is difficult, you may find it easier to leave the cable connected as this will give you more purchase on the bulb holder.
4. Remove the bulb holder from the assembly and change the bulb.

Allow the bulb to cool down before removing to avoid being burned!

Headlights

1. Open the bonnet
2. Remove the socket and the rubber cover
3. Unhook the bulb holding spring and replace the bulb

Front Clearance / Turn Signal / Side Turn Signal / Rear combi / Number Plate Light

1. To remove, simply pull out or push in the bulb.
2. To remove a round bulb, push it in and turn it anticlockwise.
3. To remove a bulb holder from a light housing turn the bulb anticlockwise and pull it out.
