Polarg Bulbs for reverse lights?

Hey guys, I was looking at Customenterprise's schematic for the bulbs that our cars use, but didn't see one for the Reverse lights.

so my question is: Is there a polarg bulb in the size of the reverse lights? and if so, what is that size?

Not sure off hand, I think 921? I will check tonight and get you an answer if no one else does. Oh, and all of November is a bad month for me, so it looks like we may have to push this to Dec.

fog light bulbs ....55w vs. 13w

take apart the fog bulb and get it to fit.

before questions arise about overheating, i'm running these for a year ZERO problems.

light comparison? SURELY....



in the following picture, notice how the stronger bulb reflects off the floor as compared to the stock bulb.

those are what i have, and they are considerably brighter (ie: they light up the ground better) than the stock bulbs...but if i were you, i would go buy those $3 H3 bulb copies at walmart and call it a day...55w vs 9 or 13w or w/e is excellent....

The reverse bulb is 921 or just a big 194 bulb.

when i tried it (without success, i might add...i broke a bulb ) it was with my stock H3 halogen foglight bulbs, and i just pried off all the metal parts....it worked excellent, and there was very little modification to the harness....i took it the one i installed out, because it looked rediculous with one super bright bulb and one really dim one....at night, i could back out much easier, even with my tint....it helped a lot...but i would suggest going to walmart and buying the bulbs that look like the H3 bulbs without all the metal harnesses (they kinda look like 921 bulbs, but with a bigger base) and installing those...i'll get around to it some day..i believe they are around $3 in the automotive lighting section...

EDIT: look here: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....bright+reverse

the how to is pretty close to the top and the website for those bulbs i was talking about is at the very end...
