WHAT SIZE LEDS DO I NEED FOR REVERSE LIGHTS?
IS IT A WEDGE BULB OR WHAT?
Also will it throw an error code if i change it to leds?

I ask this because i want a brighter bulb so its easier to reverse wit my back tints at night

thx

They are 1156 bulbs. It will throw errors if you change it to LED, Just get a hyper white 1156 bulb.

I have PIAA 1156 bulbs and they are brighter then OEM

Yes will still throw error and even with a resistor I couldn't get them to be the way I wanted them

If you have an '08 build, you can buy the V2 high output *backup* 1156 LED's from JleviSW.com and it will not throw a code.
