C5 light bulb identification assistance needed please
i found this application guide at sylvania.com
http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm
and it says the '99 C5 uses a 2057 bulb for the backup light - is this accurate?
has anyone replace all of their bulbs? if so, can someone divulge the quantity of each bulb in this list (if it is accurate) for the rest of us
as i found a site called http://www.autolumination.com that sells replacement LED bulbs that are direct replacements - so NO SOLDERING, NO SEPERATE RESISTORS, NO B.S.
so i'm getting ready to mod the interior with LEDs (if you can call switching out bulbs a mod!)

yes that # is correct for the reverse lights.
if you need the equivalent LED reverse light it is 1157.

A 3057 on the other hand is also a dual filament bulb but is of the newer straight press in type design.

seems ODD that a backup light would have more than one contact - i don't think my truck has that - it has 1156
but oh well, guess i can't make that big of a mistake getting the 1157 for trial
thanks
oh, and anyone who feels like trying to put some more quantities on the part numbers on the rest - FEEL FREE
i'd like to replace all of my incandescent bulbs with LEDs inside the car!

These bulbs and their respective socket designs have been around for many years, and therefore are fairly inexpensive to produce and manufacture. The GM designers in our case spec'd a dual filament bulb and socket, wherein only the larger filament (much brighter) is used. In this case it's for our back-up lights. The smaller filament is not used in this case.
It's just a cost effective way of accomplishing something without "re-inventing the wheel" every time a new model vehicle comes out.

I am going to guess that there are LED compatible flasher relays for C5 vettes, so that one doe snot have to install resisters at each LED.
I just did a complete LED swap out on my KIA Sorento and it worked out beautifully. The LED compatible Flasher relay was key in preventing hyperflashing and eliminating the need for resisters on each LED.
