Through a few light bulb application charts the rear signal bulb was listed as 1156, but the Xtreme white PIAA bulb i got did fit. The nipples at the sides or the bulb were not in the same position as the ones i took out of the car.

Maybe the one i got was a defect or is 1156 the correct bulb size?

Thx

 

you said nipple

 

you have to sand down one of the "nipples" for it to fit. 1156 is the right size. I used the file of a swiss army knife to sand down one of the nipples.

Same here when I bought Chrome Amber 1156s for the rear. Had to file one of the thingys down.

 

I believe they are PY21W bulbs. If you take them out you can see the model number on the base and the ***** are aligned like a wide V instead of parallel to each other like 1156 bulbs

are there any that would be an exact fit??? cuz im worry if it would be stable and stay in the socket w/o one of them to hold it???
