Light Bulb Sizes

[Tampa330i]

I'm going to be changing out my turn signals in front & sides to clear and stock tails to r/c/r tails. I know I've got to change the front bulbs to amber, or stealth amber, but not sure on the back. I think the amber on the back will probably need a new bulb, because if that's the turn signal, it'll fall in the clear space on the new tails. Also, does anyone happen to know the bulb size for the front turn and rear tail lights offhand?

You can get the bulb type by simply walking into an auto parts store and telling them the year/model.
Or, take your current bulbs out and check; should be written right on it.

I wanted to check some local store websites to see if they have amber bulbs without going out in 40 degree weather to check

Yeah, you'll need bulbs for the tails.

Went out and took them out, hands are now numb. Front turn is 1156, tail turn is 7506.

Stealth bulbs are the way to go if you've got clears.

Stealth Bulbs make the loook complete.

Cool, thanks! I actually like the look of both of them. Something tells me an auto parts store isn't going to sell the stealth bulbs. I was hoping to get this stuff installed by thursday, I totally didn't think about bulbs.

I have the regular amber bulbs cause I have heard stories of the silver stealth bulbs getting very hot and causing problems. Anyone ever had that experience?

[mimalmo]

Never had a problem in 1.5 years.

Got my stealth bulbs here ($1 shipping on all orders!)

He offers the widest array of bulbs I've ever seen. Note that he's priced higher on some bulbs than Khoalty.
