Brake & turn signal bulbs
I want to order a trailer wiring kit for The FD but there is 2 types of kits. One is for vehicles with common bulb turn signals and brake lights (whatever that is susposed to mean). and the other is for vehicles with independant bulb turn signals & brake lights. The second kit is $10 more. I have not had to replace the bulbs back there yet so I'm not sure what type of bulb I have. If someone knows whick kit I need or what type of bulb set up I have I would love to know.
I'm not lazy, I'm just at work and my car is at home. I'd like to order this before I get home because I want it by next weekend.
Here is a link to the web page with the kits...

you have independent.
Some cars use the same bulb for both brake light and turn signal. So the turn signal is basically just a flashing brake light.
FDs have a seperate, different coloered (amber) bulb for turn signals.

They are normal combo brake/turn bulbs. I could give you the number if I was home. Open the hatch and take out the 2 screws above the rear taillights. Then push the whole tail lamp horizontally towards the outside of the car. The whole lamp will unsnap and you can get to the bulbs.

Ok there are 2 different answers, I'm going to go with the person with the most posts, unless some one can confirm that there are 2 or 4 bulbs per side.
