Hi all,
After reading numerous threads about lighting options related to Insignia B (and older models), I couldn't find a comprehensive list of different bulb types in the new Insignia. This information could be useful for people (myself included) who are planning of upgrading from halogen bulbs to HIDs or LEDs for example. So I started building a list of Insignia B's lights and bulb types for an easy upgrade path for those who might be looking for the same information. I did similar research and LED modifications on my current Kia Optima, and was very pleased of the "modern" looks and outcome.
The list below needs some insight from actual owners, in addition of things I have researched so far. My focus is on the halogen bulbs, which are first on the to-do list. My own Sports Tourer is waiting for a delivery date, and I'm building a list of modifications needed to go full LED setup right after delivery, as some bulbs are still halogen from the factory. I'm not sure if there are differences between Opel/Vauxhall, and Grand Sport & Sports Tourer, so different variations should be accounted for a complete listing. Buick Regal and Holden Commodore are left out of this scope.
Resistor and other CAN Bus requirements could also prove to be useful information while looking for products. From what I've read rear turn indicator bulbs might be trickiest to find suitable LED replacements without extra wiring.
All comments, additions and corrections are most welcome!
