SpiderliteX2 is the next generation of LED replacement automotive lightbulbs. It was introduced at the SEMA Show 2006. It is up to 3X brighter than the original Spiderlite and has twice the number of High Intensity LEDs. Which Spiderlite will fit my car? Please refer to your owner’s manual for the type of socket required. For example: some Japanese imports require 7440/7443 socket, most domestics (98 & newer) require a variation of wedge (3x56/3x57) sockets and older domestics and imports require 1156/1157 sockets. Next select the size (Large, Medium, Small) required. Please refer to the Product Selection Guide. The size depends on the taillight housing volume. The Spiderlite will function properly only if there is sufficient room for the arms to open fully inside the taillight housing. What colors are available for the Spiderlite? Spiderlites are now available in Red, Amber and White. What type of LED are featured in Spiderlite? High Intensity automotive grade LEDs are featured in Spiderlite. Where are Spiderlites available? The distribution of Spiderlites is growing rapidly. If it is not available in your area, please contact us at info@spiderlite.com or phone 416-244-0499. When will the SpiderliteX2 be available? SpiderliteX2 is the next generation of the Spiderlite and is currently available online at www.spiderlite.com. Where is Spiderlite made? Spiderlite is made in Canada. How is the Spiderlite installed? Please refer to the installation guide. What is the SpiderliteX2 Crossover model? Click to view wiring socket image. Most vehicles have wiring harness sockets with the electrical ground shown on the left side of the image. A small percentage of vehicles have the electrical ground shown on the right side of the image. The Spiderlite Crossover model is wired to function in this type socket. I have installed the Spiderlite but why does it not light up? Wedge based Spiderlites are polarity sensitive. If Spiderlite fails to light, remove bulb, turn it 180 , and re-insert. Why does my turn signal flash so fast? Most newer vehicles perform the turn signal flashing using electronic modules. The module senses the current draw of the lightbulb to see if it is functioning and if it does not sense enough current it assumes the lightbulb is out and begins to flash at a double rate to let you know. Due to LED lightbulb's low current draw, the electronic module thinks the lightbulb is out and again begins to flash at a double rate. This double rate function is disabled when the hazard lights are activated. Older vehicles have thermal flashers that uses the current draw of the lightbulb to activate the flashing. LED lightbulbs do not draw enough current so you will need to replace the flasher with an Electronic LED flasher. A manufacturer of LED flashers is Grote Industries, Inc. They offer a wide variety of LED flashers. Click here for the Grote online flasher catalog in PDF format. Alternatively, a load balancer can be installed inline within the lightbulb harness. This load balancer will simulate the current draw of the original incandescent lightbulb. A Load Balancers Kit (LDBAL760) is available from the Spiderlite Online Store. I have installed two Spiderlites but they do not look symmetrical, what can I do? The Spiderlite arm orientation can be adjusted by rotating the body relative to the socket. Please refer to Step 5 in the installation guide. Will Spiderlite fit in all cars? Spiderlite will NOT fit in taillights that do not have sufficient space for the arms to open fully. Please refer to Do Not Fit Chart in the General Selection Guide. |
