Question on JDM Tail Lights Options

[Driver]

I'm sorry if it's been asked before, I searched and did not find what I was looking for. I have a bulb out on my JDM hatch tails and I was wondering what bulbs were in there. It's like in the single digits here in Chicago and if I go out looking for bulbs I'm only gonna take the tails off once haha.

do you have the JDM harness on them?

[Driver]

Yes I do. When I bought them, they came complete with the harness and bulbs. Every bulb worked when I installed them so I didn't pay attention to what they were.

[mkernz22]

I believe you will have to order the bulbs from Japan, or overseas, but don't quote me on that.
Can anyone confirm?

they are easy to find online or ebay...they use 7443 (2x bulbs for each tail light) for the brake lights and the other is 7440 (1x bulb each tail light) for signal turns and 7440 (1x bulb each tail light) white reverse light....buy them in led for brighter look ; don't have to be bought overseas.

Thank you both! Seems there is quite a few options as far as LED's go haha. Now I gotta decide!

I bought Sylvania 7443 bulbs for my JDM tails at Pep Boys.
