Scott. not exactly. Let's lay out the basics. The #1155 are 5 watt, #1156 is 21 watt and the #1157 is a dual filament 5/21 watt bulb.
So all the constant burning marker lights, like your rear tail lights and front side markers, are 5 watt #1155. The front forward running/turnsignal bulb is an #1157. The only pair you need. Just change your list to include more of the #1155s and less of the #1157s and you will have it down pat.

So, you can throw in some 90/100's Philips/Narva for me...and the bulbs for brake lights (2 pieces), reverse (2 pieces?) and I'll be a happy man...oh, maybe a voltage regulator while we're at it

Edited my post before to be correct.
David Floyd, do you maybe want to copy that into your first post, along with the price list to maybe make it easier for ppl to make their shopping lists?
Might also want to list the prices on the headlight kits & wiring components while we're at it as I'm sure everyone wants to save on shipping .

You got it almost correct, Scott. The stock rear turnsignals are 21 watt #1156. Change that line item and we are set.
As far as what you would upgrade to the 35 watt halogens, that is up to you. I'd do the main rear brake lights (2), reverse lights (2), underhood (1). Total 5 bulbs. You could also do the third eye brake light but I'm afraid of the small volume and heat. 6 minutes is OK, but if you stand on that for 15 minutes, I would be worried. I've got a cop car LED array to stick in the 3rd eye but I got that for free. Retail on that is $60. I can do better but with shipping it will still probably come out around $50, maybe a bit less.
So that is the summary.

Dan,
If you're slanging the running lights and others, I'll go in on it too. Bright reverse lights would be very cool. Dan...I have to help Mike Buck install his lighting kit in a couple of weeks, and I was wondering if you could email me the directions as they were quite thorough at explaining the process with very little guess work. The email address is richietommy@hotmail.com. Thanks.

Cool -- just to clarify then, I'm in for the 5 bulbs Dan would do: 2 for brakes, 2 for reverse and 1 for underhood. My email address is josephsc@usc.edu -- what next for ordering process - and do we have enough people in on this?

Joe, I'll add things up this weekend and see where we are as to the 50 mark. If we fall short of 50 then I can order a smaller quantity but the prices will be a bit higher. Like 50 cents to a buck per bulb. So not a big deal and we can get everyone taken care of.
Ribs, I'm sending you the headlight installation instructions in a few minutes.

Michael, I think I should have your address in one of my old emails since I saved that picture I think you sent me of the button style firewall cable tie downs. There was also your Optima battery setup in the pics for when we were deciding how to make the battery cables work right.
I'll let folks know Sat or Sun where we are on these bulbs.
