rear brake light bulbs
12-volt 21-watt 1156
The configuration of the lights in the rear tail light cluster is four bulbs arranged vertically. From top to bottom:
- brake light 12-volt 21-watt 1156 P21W
- reverse light 12-volt 21-watt 1156 P21W
- turn signal 12-volt 21-watt with offset pin 7507 P21W
- running light ??? R10W
headlight bulbs
- Sylvania type 9003
The high and low beams are contained in the same bulb. Should cost between $10 and $30 depending on brightness, life span, color temperature. The cheaper ones should last longer because they aren't burning as hot.
