Rear Taillight Bulb Size??

[LegitCivic]

Okay, so i recently got me some Si taillights (Red and White), I had the red white and yellow ones, and my problem is when i pulled out the bulb it was a 7440 (clear) and i needed to change to a 7440A (Amber), so i went to AutoZone and picked up some but they dont fit at all!

Thanks in advanced

are those for a 97 honda civic hatchback cx 2d pst back

I have a 2door coupe, i need amber taillights but i cant find any that fit

 

[LegitCivic]

Is there a way to paint you bulbs, or another way to change them to amber??

 

[2slo4u]

what bulbs exactly are you trying to change? you dont need the amber ones unless its the turn signal. there'd be no reason to put amber bulbs where it shows red

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Alright, broski!

For the amber bulbs...I really want to say that they are 1157A - the a stands for amber.

I know that you can find them at wal-mart. They're pretty much the same bulbs you use for the front turn signals

 

[LegitCivic]

Alright listen, I used to have the regular taillights the ones that are red yellow and white and my turn signal bulb was clear so when it came on it would light up the yellow on the headloght case , but then i got some SI taillights and i hace clear bulbs still so when i turn on my turn signals it doesnt show up amber it just flashes white

 

[Genuine Rolla]

Ohhh...

ok, I gotcha now. The bulb that you're looking for is 997A...I THINK...not totally sure. But, take out the bulb that you want to replace and bring it with you into the store. Just look for the same bulb, but it'll be in amber. The number of it will be totally different. I had to do that when I put in red-clear tails in my sedan.

 

[LegitCivic]

Well i went to autozone the other day and they said to get 992/7440A, so I did but they dont fit at all, they look exactly the same as the clear ones i have in the car now but they wont go in, i dont know what to do, could you go see what number buldb you have in your car??

I have a 98 civic and I bought the same amber bulbs and just forced them in and it worked. The bulbs are almost identical except there are these little grooves at the end of the bulb that restrict it from going in. Like I said just force it in.

Flip the bulb around it only goes in one way.
