LED bulbs
 
Ok, Sylvania says the front turn signals on 00+ are 3157's and all the rear bulbs (stop, reverse, rear signal) are 3057's.

I want to put LED bulbs in all the current incandescent spots. No big deal for the front, because they make 3157 LED bulbs. But I can't find any 3057 LED bulbs for the rear. All the LED bulb websites say they are interchangeable. Is that really true, or am I gonna spend money on bulbs and then they wont work?

yes its true, i do it all the time

MouSe 11-06-2009 05:25 PM

So, why make two different numbers? To confuse me?

Why would I want them to spin?

sawgunner 11-06-2009 08:54 PM

I've heard about some LEDs tripping the DIC saying the bulb is out. Keep that in mind when changing them.
