wondered if any1 put reverse lights in , i was tryin to see what model bulb it is, the bottom is liek a 194, but the bulb itself is much bigger, so if any1 knows what the bulb number is, pleases inform me, oh ye, and also show pics if u got em... thanks

 

I believe its the 1156 or 1157...dont remember which one, but im leaning towards the 1157 (fitted for 2 nubs)

 

no no no 1156 and 1157 are the ones for the....turn signal, and for the front clear corners.... not bumper lights, clear corners..... the one that every1 likes orange now...

 

The reverse lights are 921 bulbs. I checked it online at this link

ta

 

I think they all pretty much is the same. Minus the nubs and postion of the nubs.

 

that would make them different

 

reverse lights are 1156. 1157's are used for brake lights because they're dual filament

 

Thank you.

 

Take a look at the diagrams on my site.

 

1156. If you want them pretty bright, i got some from www.autolumination.com, they have some 50 watt xenon bulbs for 3.99 each. i like em so far

 

Hope this help. http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProd...de/default.htm

 

I remeber there were some reverse hids you could try. Try searching for them

 

true, but at 250 bucks a pop, its not worth it. Its also not worth blinding the hell out of ppl behind you when you're backing up into the parking spot. I dont think they would be a great product, since the hids would have to power up for a few secs and turn off....

 

Reverse lights are NOT 1156. It's 921. I bought a pair of white LED bulb and those things are bright as he11, but does not light up the road behind you as much as regular 921 bulbs.

Here's a bulb chart... credit to ceasars chariot

exactly waht i was gonna recommend.
do you have any pics?

 

does any1 have pics tho?

Here is the reverse HID you can buy from uminzta. They have plenty of pics, but like Nismotic stated, for that much its not worth it.

 

how can i post pics on here and i'll get some up tonight. I've never posted pics in this forum so i dont know if i need to get them hosted or what. I f i can find an old 1156 i'll also do a comparison.

 

Heres some pics. They dont really show the true difference. The first is both xenons, the second pic is a comparison with the xenons on the left. I'm thinking of lining the inside of the light compartment with aluminum foil or maybe some mirror vinyl. That should help out alot.

 

or you can go the cheap route, go to Auto Zone and look for the gray package made by 'Blazer' called the H1C. it's a 55w 1156. i light up the dark side of the moon with mine.

 

the chart from this site post above

Shows 97-99 is 921, 95-96 is 1156, I guess the new tails use different bulbs.

 

Autozone had some 1156 with leds but they were $16.99, much more expensive than www.superbrightleds.com

 

The 97-99 have a small bulb on the lower outer side that lights with the brake light, maybe that is that...

 

No no, that little sidemarker is just a regular 194. The reverse lights on 97-99 are 921 bulbs, why can't you people accept that? Pop your trunk and take a look--they are little smaller than 1156/7 bulbs but plenty bright.

Personally I'm thinking of putting LED bulbs in my reverse lights to get the nice pure white look, but it'd be tough to find an LED bulb bright enough. Probably not worth it given how seldom the reverse lights are used.

 

autolumination.com has 921 bulbs that have 9-LED's. But theyre 6.99 each. Maybe you can find some with more LED's.

 

werd i got the eurolight 1156s and there mad bright son

 

u got pics?

 

you guys are bannnanananans bright reverse lights
Do you guys all go to car shows and put your cars in reverse?

You know the purpose those lights are to signal people to tell them what you are doing not light up the world otherwise they would've put 9004's back there. Probably about out of a whole year on average I probably use them for a whole minute. Talk about getting your 15 seconds of fame.

 

Must be great being able to parallel park all the time, I use my reverse at least 2 times a day. What’s wrong with bright reverse lights? Like you said, they are used to signal, so why not make sure people coming up on you can see it. It also helps to have bright ones in places like Texas where most of the people drive huge azz trucks which is always fun having to creep into reverse to get out of a parking spot in-between 2 large trucks.

 

Bullsh!t—reverse lights do a lot more than signal. They are essentially reverse headlights to help you see where you're backing up. Especially in a dark area in the country or anywhere if you have a tinted rear window.

 

Yes, with my tinted rear window, I cannot reverse safely in an unlit area with putting down my window and/or opening my door to peak out (which is always fun during the winter time). I was thinking of getting brighter reverse bulbs too.

 

WELL smart guy... i have smoked taillights... alll the way and for me when i do use them i cant see behind me ....... so i want to get myself some brighter lgihts...so the times i do use them, they would come in handy....

 

Umnitza makes reverse HID's, perhaps you can contact them and find out if they can make one that would fit the Maxima's tail light housing.
