    Default Fender lights- need help

    Hi guys, have the little single fender lights on my 2018 RT- I researched and bought some replacement bulbs - they arrived, but for the love of all things holy, I cannot get them in- they like minimally different and I believe they are not the correct bulbs. Can anyone please clarify what size bulb goes in the fender light- I really want to put LED's - any help is greatly appreciated!

    Lil confusing please clarify
    Know you kinda new to Spyders & all. The fender: as in over the front tires or the Fogs: on either side of the Front trunk (Frunk). The one over tires should be led clusters not just 1 bulb, the Fogs believe are H8 on most maybe not all.

    Not all " 18 RT " models had the same fenders ..... somehow " Joe " figured that out ...... If you bought BULBS with the same base size as OEM they should have fit ..... good luck .... Mike

    Yeah, even little things like whether you ride an RT Base or RT Limited can make a difference to the answers you’ll get, Kahamom. Many say they have an RT, but you can’t assume they have the Base model as many leave the “L” suffix off.. That’s what Mike was referring to . Don’t let Blueknight’s gruff exterior fool you. He’s really a “softie” who is very, very helpful . If anyone can help you sort it, it’ll be Joe

    I am so sorry that I come off either unintelligent or uninformed. Being as my Spyder is ‘just’ an RT that is what I posted. Luckily some very kind and gentle souls on Facebook helped me find what I need. I doubt I’ll ever ask another question here

    Reading your post offering help, and her reply to it, I doubt you offended her.
