Default LED in Camaro clear corners

What are the 2 bulbs in our clear corners? I know 1 is 3157, but what about the tiny one in the corner? Has anyone used the LEDs from ebay? I believe its a direct swap, but if I'm wrong someone please correct me. I've had new clear corners for a while now, but I haven't installed them yet cuz I haven't gotten LED bulbs.

yes, 3157 for the big bulb and 194 for the small one on the side (actually the sidemarkers in the rear are also 194). You can direct swap both rear and front sidemarkers (194's) with leds, but U have to get an electronic flasher if you are trying to do the turn signals as well.

I actually just put in some SMD towers in my brake lights and they look pretty nice when lit up. Now all I need is some resistors to simulate real bulbs

What about the 3157 bulbs? I can direct swap that too right?

no sir. They fit right in place, BUT you must get a flasher or else they might not flash at all or will flash too fast. The other option is resistors for each bulb (50 watt)

Have you used that flasher yourself. I looked it up and in the desciption it says that it is not led compatable. Just curious cause I got some clear corners on the way and I will be putting leds in them.

They will work if you do LEDs in front only, but do front and rear and they won't.
