Since this thread is up top, does anybody have a definite on what the passenger side kick panel bulb number is??? Online there are like 4 possibilities, and my bulb is missing so I'm not sure which one it is. The definite is the bulb is a push and turn style like an 1156, 57, etc. Superbrightleds shows a 1891 which I've never seen, or an 89 which could be a variant of the 1891.
Any and all help is appreciated, I wanna get the right bulb.

See that’s what I thought when I put leds in the cutlass. The flasher relay there was over by the radio up under the dashboard. Took me a while to find it but just an FYI

Your hazards flash because there is enough load on the flasher (resistance in the bulbs) with ALL the bulbs working. When you use a turn signal, there is not enough resistance in the led's to make the flasher flash, thus coming on solid, as if a burnt out bulb. You'll need an LED flasher or resistors at the sockets.

I have led tails in my 80 malibu, mine must have more resistance than yours because mine flash a little slower than normal, but still flash.

EDIT: Just noticed how old the thread is. Guess I should have done a little more than just skim through it quick lol

Pretty certain it's a 1004, according to my catalog calling it a "step/courtesy light"
