headlight power supply???? where is it!!!!!
Hey, I was just curious as to what the numbers were for the front turn signals, rear turn signals, and reverse bulbs. I am looking for some like blue colored bulbs for all of these but i want the bulb to shine amber when it is on...except for the reverse. (i think that the new sylvania silverstars do this but i cannot find them for my car)... can anyone help me out.

cdog, i don't know if you checked my post on the other thread about bulb numbers, but there is practically no difference between 2357 and 1157. I am pretty sure 2357 is just the cross-reference number for sylvania brand bulbs, while 1157 is the universally accepted number. It's either that or 2357 is for OEM and 1157 is for aftermarket. I'm not that sure... Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I've gone through eBay enough times buying bulbs that I know 1157 bulbs are interchangeable for 2357 without any consequence.

I'm locking this one as the other thread seems to have better info. I will post there.
