[s-cars] Canadian/European Backup Light Bulbs?

[Bruce Mendel]

Sandy,

No, that's not it.....BUT......

....I am wondering, though, if under heat it somehow separated from its
ceramic base. Can you look in the socket again and make sure you did not
pull out the bulb and legs but leave the base still screwed in? I am sorry
to sound condescending here, but did you push down, turn, and then remove?
Because if you just pulled it out, it might have separated, and that pic
looks like a halogen 1156 that was pulled out of its mounting base.

All the rear lights, tail/stop/turn/fog/reverse, are either 1156 or 1157's.

Bruce
