Silly question 86 Quad in the garage except when the weather nice ... i have looked in the FAQ for a list of bulbs and equiv...but to no avail. Does any one know of a comprehensive list of bulbs and or replacements ?

I don't have a verifiable number for that 3rd brake lamp, but it appears just like a single contact tail light bulb. This in my 87 Quad.

I call BS on those LL 'long life' claims.
Every one I've gotten for any purpose for any vehicle has **** the bed in the same or less time than 'normal' life bulbs.
Worst example was going through 4 in one year in the reverse lamps in one car.
The standard bulbs in there now are on year 3.
If you want to spend extra on quality long life illumination, get LEDs, otherwise stick to the 'standard grade' stuff in name brand.
(ie: Sylvania, GE, etc., not Buffalo Bob's house o' discount bulk pack bulbs and beef jerky or Fung Hing's super deep #1 discount for big American penis' super light bang bang putout bright device)
Can anyone confirm/deny that the tail light bulb for my '86 Spider is an 1156? There is a bulb list that someone very kindly posted above, but it makes no mention of the tail light. I was given a warning, so I want to get the bulb ASAP; am not with the vehicle now so I can't check it. Thanks.
The lamp I'm referring to is the one that illuminates when the headlights are turned on. I assumed that one is specifically called a "tail" light; no? I went home for lunch in order to take a quick look at it. It is in fact a bayonet base with a small, perfectly round glass bulb. It's the exact same base as an 1156, but the glass bulb is much smaller. The base on my bulb is corroded, but it looks like the number is 92. Doing a google search on "auto bulb 92," however, I find no results...
Thank you, gentlemen. What I thought was a tail light--the one that comes on when the headlights are illuminated--is what you are collectively calling a park light. Sorted!
On a side note, it's curious that the large chamber above the reverse light in the bezel assembly is blank. My dad bought this car new in 1986, and for all this time I haven't realized that for whatever reason, there is no light above the reverse lights.
the empty space sounds like the space for a rear fog light (some got them, some didn't. In europe we got them as they were mandatory, even back in 86 I believe)
