- Reverse Light Replacement Bulb Backup Alert Recommendation for a 2005 Kia Sedona
- You would have to check the bulb type on the reverse lights for your 2005 Kia Sedona. The Hopkins Backup Alert, # HM20101VA, would replace a 3156 bulb. From what I could find, your van uses 1156 style bulbs. If this is the case, you would need to use Hopkins Backup Alert, # HM20100VA, which fits in place of a 1156 bulb.

- What Backup Alert Will Fit a 2011 Jeep Wrangler with 3157 Bulbs
- A 3156 and 3157 bulb will fit in the same slot on a vehicle. The difference is a 3157 bulb has a dual intensity feature and 3156 does not. Since the Hopkins Backup Alert, # HM20101VA, is for a reverse light, a dual intensity bulb is not needed and you can use it in place of a 3157.

- Fit of Hopkins Backup Alert Reverse Lamp Bulb Part # HM20101VA on 2009 Chevy Colorado
- According to the owners manual, reverse lamp bulb in a 2009 Colorado is a # 3057.
The Hopkins Back-Up Alert Bulb is only offered in # 1156 or # 3156, neither of which, I am sorry to say, will work on your vehicle.
I would recommend going with the Surface Mount Back-Up Alarm, part # BK97DB. This unit could be mounted under the vehicle behind the bumper and is easily installed by tapping into the reverse lamp circuit.

- Back Up Alert Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota highlander Hybrid
- We carry 2 alarms that fit in the light socks of the reverse lights. One is # HM20101VA that you have already determined does not fit. The other is # HM20100VA, which definitely will not fit.
What I recommend is the Surface Mount Back-up Alarm, # BK97DB. You can mount this device under the vehicle. It wires into the reverse light circuit on the vehicle and will actually be more audible than one of the replacement bulb alarms.

- Will Hopkins Backup Alert - Replacement 3156 Bulb with Audible Alert Fit a 2007 Dodge Caravan
- On the back up light in your 2007 Dodge Caravan, is it a 3157 bulb? If so, the Hopkins Backup Alert, # HM20101VA, will fit in the same slot. The difference between a 3156 and 3157 is that a 3157 has a dual-intensity feature. The back up light does not need a dual-intensity feature. Installing this unit in place of a bulb should have no effect on the computer.

The same bulb will work for a 1999-2009 Ford F350.
For the 2012 E350 Van and the 2010-2012 F350, I would recommend the Surface Mount Back-Up Alarm, part # BK97DB.

- Backup Alert Recommendation for a 2012 Dodge Ram 3500
- From what I have found, the 2012 Dodge Rams take a 921 bulb for reverse lights. Neither of the backup alerts that fit in place of the regular lights will fit. What I recommend is a under the truck or behind the bumper mount unit like # BK97DB. This unit wires into the reverse light circuit and will send a 97 decibel alert when the truck is placed in reverse.

- The Hopkins Backup Alert, # HM20101VA, is designed to replace a # 3156 bulb and will not replace the # 921 bulb on your 2010 Suzuki Equator.
Instead, I would recommend looking at the Custer Surface Mount Back-Up Alarm, # BK97DB. This alarm can mount to any surface such the frame or bumper and wires into the reverse light circuit on your truck. Once it is wired in it will send a 97 decibel alert when the truck is placed in reverse.

- Will a Reverse Alert 3156 Bulb Replace a 3057 Bulb
- Yes, the Hopkins Backup Alert Replacement Bulb # HM20101VA will work for you. The 3057 and 3156 bulbs are very similar with the only difference being that the 3057 bulb is a dual filament bulb typically found in blinker/tail light applications. However, a dual filament will work fine in a single filament application like your situation.

- backup Alert and Fog Lights for a 2008 Ford F-250 Crew Cab
- On your 2008 Ford F-250, by any chance are there more than 1 places where reverse lights light up? That could account for different bulb types being listed.
You are correct though a 3156 will not fit in place of a 921. While there is no 921 backup light/alarm I do have an alternative solution for you. You could install # BK97DB under the rear of the truck. It taps into a reverse light circuit and when the truck is in reverse will put out a 97 decibel alert which will be louder than the HM201

- Backup Alarm Recommendation for a 2012 Ford F-150
- From what I have found the 2012 Ford F-150 uses a 921 reverse light bulb. Neither of the backup alarms we offer that replace the reverse light bulbs will fit. But I do have an excellent solution for you. You can use backup alarm # BK97DB. This alarm wires into a reverse light wire and you can mount it beneath the vehicle. It is loud at 97 decibels and will work well for you.
