Taillight Bulb??????

Can anyone tell me what correct type of bulb to use for my taillight? Is it the 1157 or 2057 type? I have been routed both ways, but I don't know which is the correct one? Also how about the front parking lens type bulb, for a 71 chevy fleet! Thanks for the help!:bowtie:

Don't do what I did....got some LED bulbs for the front, APC brand, from Advance Auto Parts. The don't put out enough light to do any good.

I did get some LED taillight bulbs from a company called Ledtronics. These are great, but not cheap. However, they will last forever....like my truck will?

I agree with ChevLoRay, the APC LED's SUCK!! Stay away from them.
