Default Reverse lights bulb part#

Searched for 10mins and cannot seem to find this. I saw an 1157 somewhere but those are normally for parking/brake lights where its two filament. Im thinking it has to be 1156, but I cant remember when I last took the license plate holder off if the bulb was socket or flat (since the tail light bulbs are flat).

2057? Damn never heard of that number. What I dont get is that relates to the 1157 bulb which is a dual filament. Why would they need that for the reverse lights?

OEM is #2057, and it is double filament as well. I believe you can fit an 1157 as well, because I've looked at both bulbs orientation and they have the same. Not sure about the difference in the bulbs wattage though, but it shouldn't be an issue- , plus don' know why GM used double filament.
