Front Marker Bulbs

Can someone tell me the correct bulb number/size for the front marker lights (the orange one on all the time) on a C5-2002? Thanks.

you should get the switchback led towers from JWMOTORING. i get compliments on mine all the time. however you will need to buy a hyperflash fixer harness. the towers can be bought here: http://shop.jwmotoring.com/product.s...9&categoryId=4

3157 NAK is what is called for, but you will have problems finding that bulb. I once paid $10 at a dealer for one, never again.

You can use any 3157 yellow long life bulb. You need a long life because the turn signal filament is used for "daylight driving lights" and any other bulb wears out quickly. 4157NALL is the current replacement bulb.

If you are breaking bulbs after washing your car or driving in the rain, you have a hole in your light assembly. This is caused by the heat due to the turn signal filament being used for "daylight driving lights". You can fix this with sealant.

(corrected to read "turn signal filament is used. . .")

4157 amber in color. The 3157 is not rated for continous duty though in most cases it likely does not matter (same bulb with a different number).
