haha, i run a webboard, and it seems like for some ppl, it takes a PHD to use the search function. for me, its an easy search, but for them, seems like they cant find anything with the search function.

if you use the search function, use the "advanced search", change ur search parameters, and max out the range to greater than the past few months for ur search. that usually helps quite a bit.

i dont fully trust sylvania's site.

for this reason, look up 99 lexus gs 300/400. clearly it states the front turn signals as being 1156 bulbs. however, if u actually took them out, u will see they are 7440 bulbs. same with the license plate bulbs.


168/194 are interchangeable wedge bulbs.
