Parking light bulb replacement.
Hi,
I'm going to repalce the parking dir lamp,but hos is the right size-Watt?
Someone have a chart of the right size (watt)of the entire car?
I can find it in the shop manual.
In the owner manual I have found candle power 24-2.2 type 1157.
But don't show the watts
I have an '81
Thanks in advance

As far as I know, all 1157 bulbs are the same (or close enough) so all you need to do is get an 1157 bulb and it will work. They do come in amber or clear, so you need to get the right color.

Just a tip. Some of the #1157 bulbs from China/Taiwan have pins that are ill-fitting. As well the contacts are round and do not mate well with the socket. The GE bulbs (made in Hungary) have oval/oblong contacts to ensure adequate electrical connections and the locating pins are fine. Hungarian GE bulbs shown.
