I am restoring my parking lamps and am not sure which bulbs to use. The ones I removed from my car had crusty orange bulbs, cant read the number on them and the bulb kit I purchased has no orange/amber bulbs in it and of course I lost the sheet it came with that said what goes where.

Anyone know off hand what the correct bulb should be?

1034 is what the FSM says, but the 1157 will work just fine as a replacement for the 1034  :cheers:

I'd install 1157NA

The A version is painted glass. NA ( natural amber ) is with tinted glass, more durable

I got the 1157a before seeing this post.  They look amber vs the painted ones I pulled out

originals were yellow back in the day as far I have known. There is a guy selling on ebay those as CORRECT ONES. not cheap as you can guess.

the NA version is more resistant to the heat, being the glass is tinted. Painted glass ( A versions ) will get cracked the paint  sooner or later
