This is the only part number I've found on it
758

74x

Have looked at this thread? It is likely the answer is there.

I suggest doing a search for how to post pictures including the source for photos you are using. I'm sure every conceivable camera except Polaroid Instamatics have been documented.

imo your best bet is a local auto parts store. that way returning the wrong ones are a breeze.

when you say you ordered 3 different kits...were those online too or local auto stores?
