    outboard clear lens = signal 1156 amber LED

    taillight/brake light - 7443
    brake light - 7440
    reverse light - 7440
    turn signal - 7507

    I just changed these bulbs today.



    Edit: I didn't change the turns, so I'm not 100% sure it's the right bulb for them, but since the others were right, I'll assume all of what 00GalantMan said was correct.

    Depends on the wattage they put out.

    Dunno their specs offhand, but look them up and compare.

    7507 = 1156 = single filament
    1157 = dual filament

    Appears to be same bau15 base.
    Glad I could help homie!
