    im going through my junk and I have some wedge style 1157 bulbs and 1156 bulbs from my old chevy laying around.

    before I toss em in the trash, will these fit my taco?

    im pretty sure the reverse lights are T10 wedge style but what type are the turn signal and break light bulbs?

    the auto stores show both standard socket and blade socket style light bulbs for our trucks so I rather not pull the tail light covers off and break the seal to find out since those old gasket seals sometimes fall apart or don't fit right after.

    also when I want to switch over to LEDs back there, which bulbs should I buy so its looks best since not all LED bulbs are the same

    Hey man, if it is anything like my 96 Tacoma than the Signal and Break Light's are the same as the reverse light but I don't know if they changed them or not but I am gonna go ahead and include this link because it tells you all the lights and also has LED lights and stuff to. I am not to experienced with LED's so someone else might have to chip in on that to. Hope I could help out any!

    so based on that link, I have the round base sockets so I can give away these blade socket version bulbs.

    great link to LED versions too, thanks
