Let me know, for the sake of everyone, i'll update the thread and note the difference of your model.

Well I can tell you it's 100% true as I have just developed my LED brake light set so I have been looking at rear cluster bulbs very carefully.

All of the gen 6's that I have seen have 1156 and 1157's and a quick trawl through the forums on GT4OC reveal that the only person that has posted anything about having anything different (quite a few references about 1156's and 1157's) is somebody who found he had a wedge type bulb for his rear indicators...but it doesn't help that most people just do not know what the bulbs are called so they ae not going to post it anywhere!

So this is why I am saying that maybe Toyota change the bulbs at the facelift point when they added the projector lights at the front. It does make sense to me as the rear clusters on my car seem to be leaking a little and if this happens then the spring rusts in the bulb holder causing issues!

Or maybe its just a real mix and match but in my experience the majority of JDM cars use 1156 and 1157's in the tails.
