Brake Light Bulbs

Is there just one part number for brake light bulbs? I have a 70E, and need a couple replacements. The only thing I could find in the PP online catalog is:

Rear Tail Light Brake Light Bulb, Dual Filament, 12V/21W/5W (7528)
Brand: Osram-Sylvania [Photo] [Photo]

900-631-128-90-M97 $2.00


Is that the one I need?

Thanks,

JA

You can use a standard 1157 in the brake lights. I recommend a brighter halogen replacement as the brightness of the 991's brake lights is kind of lame.

God's own brakes and wimpy little brake lights...

Halogen brake lights are significantly brighter.

I don't know how you would measure this but they appear to be about twice as bright. They also make these for the directionals as well. I've upgraded both to halogen and it's a real safety improvment .

Pelican should consider stocking these they really are cheap insurance.

Halogens are a great upgrade to your brake lights......they will see you stop!

I did mine and was very impressed.

I got halogens from Teeks (MidAmericaDirect)
