    I need to get a tail light bulb.
    I have looked the existing thread.
    Basically I need to get the T10 or 2885 type.

    I am wondering if this would work, anyone has tried it before?
    Since this is longer than the original bulb, but I see the housing/lense in the tail light, there's plenty of space

    Any recommendation where/which one to buy?

    THANKS

    After replacing the tail lights in both of our Prius ( an 05 and an 06) I finally bought these same lights in desperation. Firstly, I always buy the bulbs from auto Zone but they are 7$ a pair and last 6 months. I'm thinking it's from slamming the hatch but who knows. I put these lamps in but I got them from a different dealer on Ebay for 7.95 and free shipping. So far, they are working fine but they have only been in for about 1+1/2 months. I wish there was a reputible dealer here in the US for these lamps, It seems everythingh is shipped from China.
