AGAIN, Eautoworks.com and Sylvania has WRONG bulb specs!
AGAIN, Eautoworks.com and Sylvania has WRONG bulb specs!
Be warned people, the first gens are all speced wrong on eautoworks.com!! So far, I've found out that:
--Turn-signal spec of 1156 is wrong. You really need a wedge style bulb # 7440, Polarg (M-1:Amber, M-2:White) is the only one that makes it in amber if you want to be legal, and PIAA makes one but you'll have to find it at some other site.
-This designation also includes the back-up lights.
--Licence plate bulbs are speced as 168 (5W) and that is wrong. You need a larger 8W wedge bulb. Thanks to some cats on the forum, I hear that a 168 will most likely "work".
--Dome light is wrong, they have spec'ed a M17 twist-in but it takes a M16 "barrel style" bulb.
-This applies to the door lights as well.
It is pretty frustrating to find this out.
Don't bother looking in the Sylvania bulb catalogs at your local parts store because that is all "F"ed up too.
Hope this helps sort out this whole sordid affair.
Peace,
N
