Take them to a local parts store and match them to get a number. What year is your car? http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/ I think that works?

But why don't the numbers match up to anything listed online?

you can get bulbs for every light except for the front turns, they have some weird post arrangement on the bulbs, they were impossible for me to find. as far as the led bulbs go, it was my experience that they were not nearly as bright as the incandescent bulbs. the ones that boister made probably work a whole lott better, because that are made like the new cars LED arrangements, and should be a lot brighter

The stock 1156, and 1557 are brighter than the LED's from Kragens. So I returned them. Thank You in advance! Cheers, Stieve Go Fast or Go Home! MacDhaibhidh is Scottish Gaelic for Davidson AyePod! All yer choons on wan boax!

Fairly simple replacements, if i remember correctly. 1156 bulbs are standard, and the LED replacements you find at auto parts stores are marked as such. Reverse lights i don't know. Are brake lights twin-filament? again, I am not sure. Experts chime in.

Can anyone give me the LED bulb sizes and types needed to do the brake lights, reverse lights and turn signals on the rear, then the two turn signals on the front?

tvanderh, replace the resistive blinker unit with a solid state one, that'll solve the super blink issue. heh, my poor Enfield's stock unit didn't know what hit it. A car that won't go is a nusence, a car that won't stop is a problem.

They worked great in my car, but they wouldn't work in the turn signals because they don't have enough resistance and the lights flashed too fast. Maybe there is something else to use, this was just my experience. My Mini's are un-officially sponsored by Coor's brewing company.

I have installed LED bulbs for the brake/tail lights and they seem to work fine in My 1000. I may eventually replace the rest of the bulbs with LED, but I was just testing them to see how they would work. They are nice and bright and I haven't had any problems. Just plug-n-play. You can pick them up at AutoZone, but I cant remember the price. Not too bad though, as I recall. Constipated people don't give a crap!

I did I got mine at a electronics store. work fine and are brighter than normal bulbs and use less power. think there is a cluster of 10-15 leds with normal automotive socket on bottom. could make em if u cant buy them where u are. try ebay or similar. People are like slinkeys; they dont really serve a purpose but you cant help laughing when one falls down the stairs.
