Is there a light bulb chart somewhere? I hope to get my car back tomorrow and the reassembly will begin. I want to change all of the lamps while it it apart but what I have in the car now is all over the place. Front turn signals one is 1157 one is 2057 the small lamp i can not see any identifier on either but they are different. I have LED headlights which worked great last year so I am good on that one. Basically need the front and rear turn signal bulbs and the license plate light. Thanks for the help.

Link to the relevant owners manual page.

Is there any way of knowing the output in watts for these bulbs (or at least for the front and rear turn signals)?

You can search around the internet and find the info...
for 1034: http://automotivemileposts.com/taillightbulbcomparison.html
1073: http://www.bulbtown.com/1073_Miniature_Bulb_Ba15s_Base_p/1073.htm


or if you want to measure...
use an amp meter in line with the bulb and multiply the reading by the voltage (12V). So 1 amp X 12V = 12 Watts (I x E = P).
Measuring the resistance of the bulb, divide the voltage by resistance and multiply by the voltage (E x E/R = P) 12V x 12v/10 ohms = 14.4W

Voltage in a circuit. E in volts, I in amps. R in ohms. P in Watts. E = I x R. I = E/R. R = E/I. P = E x I. P = I x I x R. P = E x E/R

On my tail light right below the bulb it tells the watt and candlepower

Ha! I thought it was 23 watts! I looked through all of my resources and came up empty. I must have seen it on the bulbs when I was tried to replace the rear lens covers but failed. I never thought to look on the bulbs intentionally for verification. Rolling Eyes

Thanks! Cool

There are some "no resistor needed, no hyperflash" LED bulbs on eBay. The body of the ad says 18-watt resistance built in. So, I was right for being spooked that these still might cause hyperflash. Think
