Try the search feature on this forum. I'm sure somebody has posted a list of the bulbs. If you can't find anything you can always go to Super bright LED's site and enter your model and year for a list of the LED alternatives or just the bulb numbers as originally equipped

The owners manual lists the light bulbs. You still got that somewhere?
If not, then the bulb is probably an 1156 but it would be good to verify.

These are LED reverse lights, install just like stock. For reverse lights you don't need to replace the flashers, add resistors or do any other mods. In addition to being brighter they light up a bright white instead of the yellowish color.
