Hi all,
I feel silly posting this, but I have been searching forever and have not found an answer. My brake light issues have now turned into a bunch of little strange things. I am trying to replace the bulbs to see if that solves any of the problems. Does anyone know what bulb number is needed in the aftermarket black altezza tail lights? I tried 2057 because they looked like the correct bulb and they dont work. Also I realize there are two different bulb types in these

The tail lights look like this:

Thanks!

my altezza's took 1157's for the brake bulb at least, not sure about the rest

click on Sylvania's auto part guide and they'll tell you the number

which for an 05 Taillight would be 3157 - (different mount than 1157)

maybe the altezza's have different bulbs, mine came with them on, and it looked like it had a aftermarket wires and sockets installed, so maybe that's why, but mine did take 1157's

2057s and 1157s are interchangeable so if the 2057 didn't work chances are it was just a bad bulb.
