One of my tail lights burned out and needs replacement. Does anyone know what the replacement bulb is? I tried the Sylvania 7528 like the books in the auto part stores recommend but its not a fit.

 

This is what the owner's manual says:
21 watt/5 watt bulb, W 5 W

 

I believe its a 7507? Or that may be for the fronts.

 

7507 is the turn signals. The tail/brake (dual filament) is 1157.

Ill give 1157 a shot.. or just to stop by the dealer. The bulb I pulled out did not have a dual filament.

The sylvania site has the incorrect number as well as the in-store books.

 

Since it's a second generation, why not stop at the dealer... they'll pop one in.

One of my bulbs burnt out so I stopped at a parts store and bought a replacement. (I was out of town)

When I got back, I happened to be at the dealership for something else and mentioned the bulb and they put a brand new one in. (the ones I bought were a cheap imitation)

Why not look it up in your owners manual?

Should be about page 105

If the bulb has two contacts on the bottom, it is dual filament. Did the base have only one contact in the center?

 

yes

 

If it has one contact and two bayonet nibs on opposite sides, it is 1156. Can you post a pic?

 

Thanks! 1156 Worked. Here is a photo of the OEM bulb. It's great but as you can see, single contact.
