headlight bulb question

i ordered some 906 chrome amber bulbs off autolumination and got them in the mail yesterday. i take them outside and they look alot smaller than the parking lights in the headlights. did i get the wrong ones? or are they just smaller?

ok i am confused, your title says headlight (9007) then you compare it to your blinker (3457)?

ok i thought the blinker was a 194 bulb.
and im talking about the amber bulb towards the middle of the car in the headlights. i thought it was a 904 bulb for some reason.

194 is the corner bulb correct. Its not the bulb thats in the headlight, its the light thats by itself.

http://autolumination.com/3157_3156.htm


3156 or 3157 Silver Vision

3157 = 3057 3155 3357 3457 4157

will these work?

Oh....ok....i saw your other thread first.


ok......3457=3157.

7 at the end means two filaments.
6 at the end means one filament.

I run 3157's in the front signals.

You CAN run 906's in the corner bulb, but a buddy of mine put very hot burning bright 906's there and it started melting the corner lamp.


While at autolumination, DEFINATELY pickup some (Super White)Xenon bulbs from them. I LOVE THEM in my dome light...superbright man...you'll love them. Here's a pic ripped from their site:

believe me...i gave a pair of the xenon 906's to my buddy in his ranger, and it made me make another order through autolumination and take out my mustang dome llight and run a stock dome light. no pics as of yet...maybe i'll remember to snap one tonight.
