Default 99 Tail light bulbs

The manual states that we use 5w and 5w/21w wedge style bulbs in our outside tail-lights.

I noticed online that there are "single contact" and "dual contact" wedge bulbs available. I'm not sure if this correlates to the idea of single filaments and dual filaments or not.

They referenced bulb numbers of 3156 and 3157.
Does anyone know what kind we use?? I didn't see anything in the manual


Thanks!

Did you check in the lighting section? I think Rominl or PHML posted up a big list of all the bulbs for the GS. I think the tail lights should be in there too?

Your welcome. That forum has so much information in it. I think I changed about 50 bulbs after reading that forum. Ive never spent so much money on bulbs in my life, but it was worth it

if those are the brake lights, you need the one that is dual contact. coz' when the parking light is on, only one filament is on. if you press on the brake, both are on and it's brighter

and i am happy that i help to make you guys spend more money
