Lightbulb Size Guide

[gatorglaze]

Okay i dont know if anyone has already made a thread like this but if they have, i'll delete this one. I found the information on sylvania.com and i figured that it would help a lot of people so here you go guys, pretty much every lightbulb size in our cars.

ALSO ADDED, therupp's notes to make it a bit clearer. my info was copied and pasted from sylvania and therupps was trimmed down better.

KEEP IN MIND, THERE IS MORE THEN 1 NAME FOR EVERY SIZE, MY GUIDE AND THE RUPPS GUIDE MAY DIFFER BUT THEY ARE THE SAME BULBS!!

That clears up confusion about different bulb sizes since they tend to have multiple numbers per size.

Why there is no D-I-Y/Guide section here (For Altima 2007-2008) , then people always can add it up for new things?

I thought the front and rear turn signals and the front parking lights are 3156's?

I just put 3157 because 3156 is a 3157 that isn't using both circuits

I got my license plate Super White LEDs in today and replaced them myself, I'm stoked haha.

Even more stoked than when I finally peeled off the dealer sticker last week.
