US Lightbulb replacements

[TheBard]

Okay, we've all spent time at our local factors doing the bulb compare dance... but to save time in the future, here are a few of my findings so far!

Rear/Taillight, including stop/turn/indicator: Sylvania #7528 (P21/5W)

Rear/Taillight, running lights: Sylvania #5007 (R5W)

Sidelights, infront of front arch, behind rear arch: Sylvania #2825 (W5W)

All are in Green "European Lamps" packs, are direct replacements and cost about $1.50 for a 2 pack.

Remember, working lights increase the chance that you won't get smeared by an SUV

Addendum, the sidelights are a pull fit, grasp the tab and pull straight back, don't twist or you'll shatter the bulb

Bard,

Great work! Did you happen to find a replacement bulb for the Central High Mount Stop Lamp assembly (spoiler stop lamp)? I had to take mine apart because my turn signals, though working, were not indicating on the dash - first sign of a bulb burned out. There are three bulbs in the assembly (all of mine were toast) but none have a part number. They are 1", bipin G4 base, but I do not know the rated amperage. Interesting to note however that the lamp enclosure has "BUICK" stamped across the center lamp enclosure with a GM part number of 16509134. Let me know if you've had any luck with this one. Thanks in advance.

Dare say this has been asked before, but can we use any of these brighter headlamp bulbs, without causing any damage ?, was reading somewhere, some of these new bulbs give off 40% more light, & yet use no more power.
