Tailight bulbs

I would like to replace all of the bulbs in my tail light when I change it. Are they all 3157 and how many are there please? Nothing came up in a search. Ty.

My 98 FSM lists them as 3057. I believe there are 6 all together, 4 Tail/Stop/Signal, 2 back up, and there are also 2 or more 194 bulbs.

Yes, six 3057 and 2 194.

If you use 3157 bulbs you might want to change the 194 to 168.

Fun "fact" - If you have a tail light bulb burn out and can't get a replacement immediately, just swap it with one of the back-up bulbs.  The back-up bulbs use the bright filament only.  Usually with a taillight, the dimmer filament burns out first.

If you are going to install LEDs, I'd recommend you get the glass LEDs available via Amazon. I used these: https://www.amazon.com/AMAZENAR-2-Pack-Extremely-AK-3014-Replacement/dp/B01NA9KJ8F/ -  If you get 4 of them you'll need a ballast resistor too.  If you get two of them, just put them in the inboard sockets and leave conventional bulbs in the outboard sockets, and you won't have a flasher problem.

Is the 194 alations plate bulb? I am only going to use LED's for the reverse lights. So it's 4 3157s A194 or 168 and a pair of reverse bulbs. I have to put this on the back burner for a bit and do elbows at is do elbow, lim gasket & Valve cover gaskets while I'm there. Yay.
