    Aloha,

    Anyone have a link to white light bulbs to match clear front corner lights as well as red bulbs for my clear third brake light? Been having a hard time knowing what bulb is what when googling. So if anyone knows the Amazon or ebay link to these bulb sets that would be great!

    Here's the list of bulb sizes out of the owner's manual for my 98.

    I have links to LED bulbs for everything but the front corner lights if you're interested. I just switched over to LEDs like 2 weeks ago

    That’s what they call the center high mount stop light.

    You can go conventional build or led.

    @djm228 - Was it worth replacing all the bulbs with LED?Im considering it but wondering if the light quality improvement is that dramatic?

    The lights are noticeably brighter. The main reason I got them is so my brake lights light up faster. I just wanna avoid getting rear ended lol

    I second that. Put one LED in the brake lights and have someone step on the brake pedal and you will see a noticeable delay in the incandescent bulb compared to the LED, something like 1/4 second. There's not as much benefit for the front parking lights or turn signals.
