I use 1156 or 1073 for the front turn signals and GE89 for the parking lights.

Cheers,

Hello,

Following applies to 12 volt equipped cars.

Front and rear turn signal bulbs use 1156 bulbs.

Front running lights and reverse light use 67 bulbs. Substituting 1156 bulbs can damage the lenses as they are taller.

And brake light/running light for the taillights use 1157 bulbs.
