Question:

I have a 2008 Silverado and I was wondering if you have a backup alarm alert light that will fit it? You show a 1156 but I dont know which will for my 2008? thanks.

For replacement bulbs that also have a built-in back up alarm, we have 2 options. One fits in place of a 1156 bulb, # HM20100VA, and the other fits in place of a 3156 bulb, # HM20101VA. You can actually use a 3156 in a 3157 socket. The only difference is that 3157 has a dual filament that 3156 does not have.

You will need to check the bulbs on your vehicle to determine if it takes one of these bulbs. If it does, then you can use the alert.

If not, I 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.
