1990lumina Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Okay, call me lazy, but I came home today and when I hit the lock button on my key fob I notce one of the lights on my tailights burned out :x , so it's dark as hell and I don't have the energy to go pull the tail light bulb to see what part# to by. I was hoping someone would know on here and I could go and buy a new one after work tomorrow. Outlined in green is the part that isn't lighting up (there must be two bulbs in there because the very edge is lighting up, however the other half isn't near as bright as the same section on the right side of the car. So, please help me out guys - Jeff L. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Just take the bulb out and bring it to the store... that's what I always do. Quote
1990lumina Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Posted September 25, 2005 8157? Thanks...I'll double check tomorrow just to be sure, but sounds good to me!!! And C-Bad, I know I should just go take the bulb out, but Me=Lazy ass Quote
pwmin Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 2157, i think unless it's the newer style then it should be 3057 Quote
digitaloutsider Posted September 25, 2005 Report Posted September 25, 2005 Okay, that struck a chord in my head. 3057 should be the single filament same socket (i.e reverse lights) 3157 is dual filament (what you need) I'm almost positve that's right. Quote

Nope, all 57's are dual filament. 56's are single filament (i.e. 3056, 3156, etc). Quote
digitaloutsider Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 I suck at the intarweb! Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 oh noes i can't remember lightbulb specs! I'll never work at autozone!! :bawl: Quote
jeremy Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 why not just use the little machine that tells you the bulb numbers that is right in front of the bulbs themselves at the part stores Quote
Euro Posted September 26, 2005 Report Posted September 26, 2005 why not just use the little machine that tells you the bulb numbers that is right in front of the bulbs themselves at the part stores sometimes they're not right like when i looked for a 3rd brake light bulb....gave me one that was like 3 times the size of the one i needed which one is 194? is it the one to the left of the circled one? Quote
1990lumina Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Posted September 26, 2005 Turns out to be 3057 ...thanks for the help guys...I got the new light installed after picking some bublbs up today after school...so it looks good again I hate the look of cars with a burned out light lol... Anyway Quote
