Post How Many Light Bulbs Do I Need?

Guys with 99-01 TL I need to replace some bulbs parking/stop tail light. I notice the other night that a bulb was out in the rear of the car. This should be a tailight I guess so what I need to know is how many tailight /stoplight bulbs are housed on one side. I would replace everything except reverse& signal bulbs. I would do other side also since I use my lights 100% of the time when I drive. The car is almost 2 yrs & I have did this since day 1. I think I will replace tag light also while I am doing it.

Why do you want to replace everything? Just replace the one which is broken.

Ok, there are total of 4 bulbs per light. One turing signal, one reverse, and two tail/stop bulbs. They are all white.

Thanks guys for the info. To answer the question why would I want to replace everything Iam only replacing the tail/stop light not the signal or reverse bulbs. Like I posted I drive with my lights on 100% of the time. Since our cars did not come with DRL this is why I do it. I have one tail light out so while I am in the trunk replacing one just replace the others.They will most likey go out soon from constant use. I will change the front marker light bulbs & tag also they get the same use The 3rd brake light is not hooked up since I have spoiler. So I should need total of 4 bulbs for stoplight/tailight.
