Look inside the socket.  If there is only one electrical contact centered within the base of the socket use bulb #1003.  If there are two electrical contacts at the base of the socket use bulb #1004.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

IIRC correctly, an 1156 fits in there.  I think thats what I have in there, cuz I want it super bright.  I had this in all my trucks with no problems.  it will work but be super bright.
