I was looking at the PIAA Xtreme whites and the polargs that they sell on custommaxima.com

So, will those W2 PIAA's fit for my backups? They look just like the one in the picture.

ARe the 194 bulbs the same as the 168? i.e the door step bulbs are the same size as the license plate bulbs? Because on Ebay they are selling them as "194/168 Polarg bulbs"

yep, the door step bulbs are the same size as the license plate ones. You can use the bulbs for the bulb instead the trunk as well.

That's what I thought when I took the bulbs out to look at them today. But, why does Sylvania's website have different bulb numbers for the lic plate, step/courtesy light, and trunk?

It shows 161 for the Step/Courtesy
158 for the Trunk
168 for the License plate

Also, DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE W2 IS THE BACKUP LIGHT BULB????!!!!
Sylvania says it's 921.
WHy can't they just give one number for each type of bulb???
Why does something like this have to be so f***ing complicated????!!!

the number for the reverse bulbs are either 921 or 912. by the way if u need any other info on bulb sizes and numbers for the exterior bulbs go to www.xtremewhite.com , they have a search thing so u can get the right bulbs for ur car. ive ordered from them before and they have great service and quick as hell shipping.
