I used 7507 in the front which is the same as the rear. I know this for a fact. The reverse I am going to freakin pull right now. I swear it is the same type bulb, a 7507.

There is only one type of 7507 , the pins are offset.

Well, I'm screwed. The reverse bulbs are NOT offset. Don't know what they are but the are exactly like the turn but with non offset pins. I wasted like 30 bucks last night because I was too lazy to check.

The turn signal bulbs are 7507 with offset pins and the brake bulb is a 7443 and there is a write up on the a/c controllers and shifter if you have an auto like me.

the reverse is a 1156, maybe since rockland got the 1156's with the straight pins in, I can get the offset 7507 jammed in for my reverse lights, doubt it

Chris,

Autolumination.com has nice diagrams of the different bulb types. The 1156 has the straght pins not offset.

Chris,

Slightly off subject but I was looking at the LED's you used in your headlights. The 194 wedge driving lights. You have a HID set up right? I was talking with someone who is sure the heat from a halagon bulb is way to extreme and it will fry the LED. I'm running the xenon h-4's which will be right there next to the LED and was advised it will certainly fry. I am guessing the HID set up doesn't emit much heat in comparison? Hopefully this hasn't already been covered.

First off, HIDs run way cooler then the halogens do. Second, no halogen gets soo hot, that it will ruin an led parking light, even with ours being as close to each other as they are.

Go order your leds.

rockland, what you smoking?

please go to autolumination.com and fork over the cash to get the right bulbs, I don't want you to blow a fuse or something

you should have 7507 turn signals, these bulbs are available in a variety of colors and coatings, you can even get led's if you want

the reverse is a 1156, use that bulb for your reverse lights or something, that must be where you pulled it from

OK FIRST i said that i didn't want an amber bulb in my turn signals. my research led me to find that that an 1156(clear) bulb fit into our housings with little resistance.this thus solved my problem of having amber turn signals.
secondly, any issuses with fuses or what not is well under control. i never said that my mod was anything more than something i wanted for myself......

drop the attitude homie, knowones starting shit with you or with the mods you choose. Your posting of one-liners was a little confusing as they made no sence, hence the questions.

Hey it will probably be fine. It's all trial and error. I don't think you'll really hurt anything. I was trying to let you know that there are lots of options for the correct bulb fitment. Trust me I have a box of bulbs that I got on the car and didn't care for much and have replaced. I've only had my car for about two weeks. It's all good.
