I looked in the Sylvania and GE autolighting books.

I cant find the map lights for my car. So.. I thought Id ask the pros.
From what I found, they all fall under the Festoon, wedge, Mini Wedge, twist-lock and bayonet types.

I need the type of light for:

- Brake lights
- Backup lights
- Front corner lights
- Side door lights F/R
- Dome light
- Glovebox map light
- Overhead map light

Most of my crap is an ugly yellow lanternlike hue..

 

brakes - 1157
back ups - 1156
front corners - 1157
side doors - 194
glove box-194
Map light - 158
High mount stop light - 921

 

my brakes are 1156s?

 

breaks are 1157 duel filaments.... one for running light second for when u hit breaks....

 

on gxe's too? i have 4 bulbs, 2 are running one blinker and the brake. i went to advance for a new bulb and they gave me 1157s, but when i took the blown one out it was an 1156, so i tried the 1157s , then bought 1156's and neither worked, wtf could b goin on? lol

 

Thanks heres! Awesome. And no dressing down or playing 20-questions.
A fine example of Q&A.

Theyre dual filaments in the brake housings? I thought.. Is one of the bulbs I replaced for the white backup light?

Wait, do the 1156's go in the other housing? Im confused now. But thanks for all the other data!

 

there are 2 1157's , duel filaments. both brake lights. 1 of the filments in the bulb is always on with ur lights. (running light) when you press the brake pedal the other filament lights for the brakes. 1 1156 is a backup light. 1 1156 is the turn signal. and the 194 bulb in the cornor is a running light... not really hard to understand...

 

There ya go Well said lol

 

Does 158 cover the dome type as well?

 

alright. here comes the hardest post i've made on this topic. goto your car. take a flat head screw driver. Pop out you farkin' dome light covor. and read the bulbs. vwahlaaaaa.

 

I see your mind.

So riddle me this:

Whats made of mostly glass and metal, that I'm asking about, which wasnt in my car when I bought it, to reference the type from? :

 

As for the OP's question no doubt don't settle for anything else.
