did a quick check on sylvania's site. Most of the bulbs (except LED brake) appear to be similar to Series I

edit: thanks paimon.
since it's also a 7440, that 194 bulb can't be used as a replacement to the reverse lights. You can however use it for your license plate, interior dome lights, or even the front marker lights.
for reverse bulbs, I recommend something like this: (it's what I have on my Series I)

Nowhere that I know of!
Looks like a lack of research.
Straight from the owners manual...............and is for an S1 if it matters.
Someone should link in the damn bulb thread as well...........oh wait, I'll go get it!

Speaking of which, the Series II owners now have their VERY OWN bulb code list. (it's currently a work in progress)

^...............yes, they will.............stick it in the plate bulb locale. Keep one as a back-up.
Yes, we all know they could be used elsewhere, but I'm not going there right now.
