Question:
Is this a universal application? fit all vehicles? or you have different ones per vehicle manufacturer?

Expert Reply:
The Hopkins Backup Alert, # HM20100VA, is not a universal application, though it does fit many vehicles. It fits into a common bulb size socket. You will need to check the bulbs on your vehicle or vehicles to determine if they take the 1156 bulb. If they do, then you can use this alert.
Another common bulb size is 3156. If your vehicle or vehicles have this bulb number, they can use # HM20101VA.
These are the only 2 alerts of this type that we carry. But we do have other options such as the Custer Surface Mount Back-up Alarm, # BK97DB. It mounts outside of the vehicle and receives power from the reverse light circuit on the vehicle.

According to the information I found, the 2008 Town and Country uses a 3157 bulb for the reverse light. We do not have back-up alarm bulbs available for that socket. Your best bet would be the surface mount alarm, part BK97DB.
