I’ve just got done replacing nearly all** my incandescent bulbs in my 1987 Turbo Coupe with LED replacements. There was quite a bit of research involved—the owner’s manual lists ones that aren’t even made any more...or incorrect ones. Even on this site there’s some inaccuracies. (After searching for literally hours through the posts here regarding a bulb list, I found several references to links that now bring up good old Error Code 404–Page Not Found.) So I decided to create a list that can be used as a reliable reference.
I’ve changed very few bulbs that I can recall in the course of my almost-29-year-old ownership (I know, it seems a bit odd to me too). I only bring this up to point out that my list should be very accurate, as there are many OEM bulbs still in place that were never changed or substituted.
In this list I use the term “lamp” to refer to the illuminated item—this is particularly true now with LEDs, as there is no longer a glass enclosure (in nearly all cases) that houses the LED; so, technically the term “bulb” is now obsolete.
You can use the item numbers here to (hopefully) accurately order LEDs that are a direct fit. Or, just stay with the OEM incandescent bulbs.
ASHTRAY LAMP 161 x 1 (Bulb says 161, but 194 will work.)
BACK-UP LAMPS 1156 x 2
BRAKE LAMPS 1157 x 4 (1157 is the original round-base bulb.)
CIGARETTE LIGHTER LAMP 194 x 1 (Bulb says 161, but 194 will work.)
CONSOLE STORAGE COMPARTMENT LAMP 57 x 1
CORNERING LAMPS 1156 x 2
COURTESY DOOR (EDGE) LAMPS 912 x 2
COURTESY UNDER-DASH “FLOOR” LAMPS 95 X 2 (LEDs use 1156. I used ones with a protective covering.)
DOME LAMP 562 x 1*
FRONT MARKER/PARKING LAMPS 1157A x 4 (Newer “wedge” design is 3157A.)
HIGH MOUNT STOP LAMPS 912 x 2
LICENSE PLATE LAMPS 194 X 2
MAP LAMPS 105 x 2
“OPERA” (REAR PILLAR) LAMPS 89 x 2 (LEDs—use small 1156 lamps. CHECK SIZING.)
REAR SIDE MARKER LAMPS 904 x 2 (LEDs—use 912 lamps.)
SYSTEM SENTRY LAMPS 37 X 8 (I stayed with the incandescents here.)
TAIL LAMPS 194 x 2
TRUNK LAMP 912 x 1
(UNDER) HOOD LAMP 89 x 1 (1156 again—with protective covering.)
* (This # might also refer to a different item; LED is correct.)
** I have converted all to LEDs but the headlamps (so far) and the bulbs inside the System Sentry. (Do they make LEDs that small?)
