Tag Light Bulbs

[99SE]

Does anyone know the standard bulb number for these. Both of mine are out and I'm trying to get my car inspected today. I tried getting onto autozones website but its down right now. It says that something is wrong with their system. I hope someone can help me out.

I thought festoon made the lights for the tag (I think you mean liscence plate)

Tag = License plate

Same thing to me.

festoon bulbs 36mmx10mm

also "festoon" doesn't make them. That's the style of bulb they are.

You should get LEDs... they look way cooler:

UV LEDS? I did not know they made those. Wonder if they would work well for the reverse lighting?

I sure as heck don't understand the sizing and bulb types they are talking about either. :shrug:

My 36 x 10 mm Festoon base with 4 LEDs bulbs came in today and they're lookin quite good. Not as bright as I hoped though :shrug:

Reverse lights have been discussed in the Aesthetics forum, just search around for them. Someone used some type of LED and got them super bright incase you have tinted windows or something. Cool stuff

I just picked up the store brand cheapos last night. I just needed something in there so that I can get my car inspected today. Thanks for all the responses though.

Huh... mine still work, but of course, I haven't driven the car much.

They're also quite a bit brighter than the stock lamps.
