Hello everyone, so I recently did the lci taIl light conversion but they didn't come with reverse lamps so I figured they take 194 size bulbs.....well long story short I ended up installing the 194 bulbs and they are working but giving me an error, also they seem very dim so Im guessing maybe this is the wrong size bulb. Can anyone tell me the right size reverse lamp bulbs for lci rear tail lights please? Thanks sooooo much in advance

A 921 bulb is the same as a T10/168/194. Get CREE LED bulbs. They are almost similar to HID but without the mess of HID wires. They are VERY bright.

Not true.....Have you compared a 921 bulb to a 194? I have and the 921 bulb is 3x the size of a 194 bulb. Problem is resolved I just replaced the 194 bulbs with the recommended 921 bulb.

Size can be different....T10 bulbs come in many sizes and forms but the bulb is the same. I know because I have CREE LED 921 bulbs and used a 194 T10 LED bulb before.
