ok before you guys start jumpin on me, i prolly have read all the threads about 3rd gen tails here that is why i cannot conclude whos who is right so here goes.

my objective: what are the bulb sizes/types for JDM 3rd Gen Taillights

and heres what i found on my research...

from this thread Reelax mentioned:
https://www.thegalantcenter.org/showthread.php?t=21932&highlight=jdm+taillight+bulb

mine are wired like this (old pics pre-LED in 2001):

present setup:

outboard red lens = parking AND brake 1157/2057 white LED
inboard red lens = parking AND brake 1157/2057 white LED
outboard clear lens = signal 1156 amber LED
inboard clear lens = reverse 1156 white xenon

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.

thanks bro!

what about:
7507 = 1156 = 1157 is this true?

7507 = 1156 = single filament
1157 = dual filament

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