Default Reverse lights......

...ok so I'm lazy and don't feel like looking it up. What # bulb are the reverse lights? I'm hoping they are 1157 so I can replace them with the APC Xenon Plasma ones like my headlights. I'll also replace the backup lamps on the side if I can. :)

APC does NOT make a foglight compatible though. :( :( I got confirmation back from LAPD on that.

...they are 1156 and 32W each. I think that means the 1157 lights are compatible. I'll look into it, this could be cool. :D :D

1156 is a single filiment bulb with one terminal on the base... an 1157 is a dual filiment and has two connecters on the base if i'm not mistaken.

While your looking it up. Would you take a look at the center console lamp on a 96. I think it is a 564 or 565 but the parts house gave me a 565L which does't work.

Thanks in advance

You can get a high output version of the 1156. I put them in my front cornering lamps. They are 50W each. Auto Zone, Advance, etc. etc.. sell them.
