Default Bulb Sizes

Ive been looking for awhile but can't seem to find the bulb sizes for the 02 Coupe Vette. Different websites, different numbers. Looking forward to changing all bulbs to emit white light outside and some inside.

PS - what type of bulbs do you guys have emitting white light?..

LED bulbs are the way to go. They use considerably less energy, are brighter, and last longer.

Unless it's a major name brand like Triton, Radioflyer, or Morimoto, they all come from the same Chinese manufacturers. If it looks the same as no name generics from China on Ebay, it most likely is the same. The only difference is in customer service should it fail. I've had 4 JDM A-Star bulbs fail on me, and they replaced it without a hassle. Also had 4 Morimoto bulbs fail, replacement was quick and hassle-free as well.

I always try to get Cree bulbs. From my experience, they seem to be the best and brightest.
