Tail Light Bulbs

[Caedmon7777]

Does anyone know what kind of bulbs fit the tail light, rear turn signal, and the reverse light? I want to change them to LEDs but I need to know what size they are so I can change them accordingly. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I know that problem first hand as well with the rear turn signals. Instead of having the little "nubs" the same on both sides of the bulb and housing, they offset them. Now, if you want to use after market replacement bulbs, this may cause a problem. What I did was use a utility knife and make the offsetted slot a little bigger, and the bulbs fit in perfectly and work great.

By the way, I have PIAA super white turn signals as shown in these pics:

isn't that the reverse lights? and how did you "bend them out" with a knife?

No. The reverse lights are right beside the turn signals. The turn signals are on the outside, and the reverse lights are on the inside. I had my four ways on in the pics.

As for the light socket, I just used a sharp knife to make the slots bigger. This will allow the "nubs" to line up and fit in place. I was able to turn mine slightly to lock them in place.

I am thinking about getting the spider LED lights for my tail light. Has anyone tried that?

Yeah, there's a thread here somewhere with LED tails.

there hella expensive, and i dont think u cud see the design behind the OEM light. with the next gen for the same price as the bulbs, the pattern is almost similar.
