New tails, wrong bulb sockets?

05crewi5 · May 9, 2015

Hey guys, new here, but not to forums. I bought my brother some New tail lights for his birthday and they fit perfectly. They were sent with a harness that replaces the plastic module that holds the bulbs to the stock tails. That's fine, but the harness is a different socket bulb than what's stock. I hope this made sense. Please help me figure out what bulb I can get to make them work! I'll post picks soon.

Thanks.

Pics uploaded. The harness shown is the new harness with the round style bulb. Currently, the stock bulbs are the "fuse"style bulb. If you know what I mean.

What year truck does he have?

You mean a base like this?

The old (factory) lamps were wedge base and looks like the new harness uses a bayonet base.

What are the numbers on the wedge base lamps? You can use that number to search for the bayonet style counterpart.

Exactly. It's a 2002, and I'll get the numbers from the stock bulb when he gets back in the morning. Thanks for the correct terms on the bulbs too. Lol this is exactly what I needed to know, I was hoping it would be as easy as just matching the bulb types with the different base's

You can get 3157's in the other base style I believe.
