Default AU park light fittings

Can anyone confirm - the AU park light fittings from 2001 onwards - were they a bayonet fitting or a wedge globe fitting? And for those that have the bayonet fitting, are there any globes out there, specifically coloured globes that you can get in bayonet fitting for the 2001 AU's?

thanks in advance!

These what you're after?

Might be worthwhile reading the warning about mounting them too close to a heat source (eg halogen globes). It's something I didn't know.

thanks for the responses. but the ute is a 2001 and we have checked and they are a bayonet fitting. they must have changed after 2001 then.

If you've checked them obviously what you're saying is right but I've got a few au headlights here inc an orange blinker one and they are all wedge type globes in the parkers - inc my 2002 S3.

Not sure what you've got or which model(s) had bayonet types but good luck with it.
