the osram-slyvania bulb guide is saying the turn signals are 7507?
but previously mentioned by a user it's 3457 and/or 3857A (identical)
I'm confused! which are the proper bulbs for the turn signals? (front)

I used the 3857A on mine (Sylvania silvers) Now the rears I can't help with. Once again conflicting numbers are floating around.

Does Polarg make bulbs for the front turn signals and reverse? If not, anything similar to Polargs (Blue tint, white output)? Links guys?
Thanks..

I've recently replace all of my interior lighting with Polarg bulbs, which nicely matches the stock LED front map lights.
Luckily all but one are the 194/5W5 wedge bulbs:
- Front foot wells (2 bulbs total)
- Lower door panel/puddle lights (4 bulbs total)
- Front dome lights (2 bulbs)
- Rear map lights (2 bulbs)
- Vanity mirror lights (2 bulbs)
- Glove box (1 bulb)
- Trunk interior, not including trunk lid (1 bulb)
So you will need a total of 14 wedge bulbs to do the interior -- you could often find Polarg bulbs sold in larger quantities on eBay.
The only bulb that's different is the rear dome light which is a festoon bulb (the long cylindrical bulb that has contacts on both ends), which I replaced with LEDs.
I would like to replace the LEDs that illuminate the interior door handles from amber to white as they are barely noticable. It doesn't look like you could access it easily, so you may need to take the interior door panel off.

Would those work as reverse lights without warning?

festoon bulb of rear dome light

Does anyone knows the size of the festoon bulb? I see on internet different sizes.
Is there also a hyper white bulb available or only LED. I heard LED doesn't dim gradualy, but just pops out. It will not be nice together with the Polargs.
(btw 14 Polarg are ordered, so in a week i can start the project).
The two reading lights in the rear mirror; are they LED? I have the impression not (at least for the EU model).

Can we get confirmation as to what the bulb type on the rear signal would be?
Front is definitely 3457
I see two type being thrown out there, 3457 (P27/7W) and 7507 (PY21/W)

If you pull out the bulb and measure you can get the exact size. I think its about 39mm.
At first I bought a small one that worked, but I didnt like the shade of white so I changed it and bought a new LED one to match the rest of my interior led lights.
