Default turn signal bulbs 96-00

which turn signal bulbs do you use for a 96-98 civic 1156 or 1157? cause everywhere i looked it says both listings. the difference between the 2 is the 1156 is a single filiment and the 1157 is a dual filiment. which am i supposed to use?

the tails use another light. Simlar, but single filiment. Or the 96-98s, anyway.

Tail lights are different from headlights...

Here's the guide for the car's bulbs: http://www.sylvania.com/bin/carApp/c...ic&x=27&y=11#3

1156 for the rear turn signals, reverse light and 3rd brake light.
1157/2057 for the stop lamps.

if you used an 1156, most likely your would either lose your parking lights or your turn signals...whatever one the extra filament is responsible for.
