Hi James, welcome aboard.

Not so easy a question to answer, depends on the age of your car.
95-99 slatted grille, (D8) yes, replaceable bulbs
99-04 honeycomb grille, (D9), no, surface mount LED's

just read your profile - 98 2.0 lx, so probably yes

For a D8, backlights are 501s and individual inductor bulbs are 509 T5 twist lock things. Local motor factors are your best bet for both types.

What the feck is an 'inductor' bulb Jon? Is this some more new technology that has passed me by?!

[jonsowman]

Haha sorry, that was meant to be indicator (as in warning lights, not just the turn signal)! Silly autocorrect.

Ah, thought that's what you might have meant, but as your posts over on the other place are usually so precise, I thought you'd already scanned for typos!

Exactly why I usually avoid replying on my phone, I inevitably get something wrong! Never mind, that'll teach me
