oh no problem, they are 168 size bulbs "wedge" bulbs cuz the base isnt round its more of a wedge shape. I bought them on ebay, for like $2 each. I reccommend you buy ones that have multiple LED's, mine have 1 LED each and were supposed to be "SUPER BRIGHT" but dont show my plate as bright as the halogens. I will def be getting better ones later. This size also works for your corner lights and your third brake light. Good luck

No the reverse light is a regular large bulb 1156 in our cars its the same as the front and rear turn signals 168 is a small bulb way different than the reverse
