Do we have a list of the light bulbs that are used in our cars?

Somebody must have categorize it im sure.

I can not find it, in any source I have. I'm especially concerned with the truck light.

Think the trunk was the same as the license lamp.

Although, I do see an error or two, the 1157's and 1156's cross over the same, 1156,and 1157's. Just FYI.

Also in your owners manual

IMHO use caution to not use larger wattage bulbs than listed in the owners manual, because at least they'll melt/warp your plastic lenses/housings, at worst may be fire hazard. Many parts suppliers will try to sell you "bigger" bulbs cuz they're supposedly better or brighter, when in fact they just don't have/carry the proper ones!

or you could get the LED replacements and have lower heat and won't have to worry about warping!

Auto Atlanta catalog has a good list of bulbs too.

Another tid-bit, having incorrect resistances will cause your turn signal indicators (in the tach) to both flash, instead or just the left or just the right. Using the correct bulbs and with clean connectors and grounds should make the indicators work correctly.
