I'm using Coupe lights on my MK4. Does anyone know what size the replacement dual filament bulb is for the Coupe? Looking to pick some up, but I'm away from my garage for a bit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

1157

Awesome, Thanks! That's what I figured it was, but I wanted to make sure it wasn't some strange bulb that's hard to find in stores. That's a pretty common bulb.

Michael, I posted an easy and low budget LED coupe tail lights setup you may want if you're in the build phase. You will never have to carry any more 1157's !!!.

If you don't want to go the LED route, as I recall the 2357 is brighter than an 1157. Nowhere close to an LED though; but a lot cheaper.
Good Luck

I was actually looking at a stock replacement LED bulb that uses the same "globe" as a normal bulb. I was looking at your thread too, so if my stock replacement idea doesn't work, i will definately go your route.
