These bulbs are otherwise known as 21/5W or 380 bulbs and if the Tuscan is a combined tail and stop light it should be fine.
Not sure about the indicator park.
What I would say is that if they don't work, you have 14 days to return them for a full refund (distance selling regs and also in the ebay sellers terms).

These bulbs ARE NOT 80W! It would be impossible to cool the CREE chips for that sort of power. You are being ripped off by that seller. I have CREE LED bulbs in every position in my Cerbera, they are 9W Cree and bright enough to hurt your eyes when you look at them, and strangely look the same as the link, but I didn't pay that much for mine.
PS I'm a ex electronics engineer and now electrical contractor, and some of the stuff that comes out of china is good, but a lot isn't.

I commented on this earlier. Nobody seems fooled by the pwoer rating and believes it, but they do seem to work fine and are nice and bright. Just because my stereo doesn't actually produce 120000watts (pmpo) doesn't mean it's not perfectly loud enough for the room it's in!PS I'm a ex electronics engineer and now electrical contractor, and some of the stuff that comes out of china is good, but a lot isn't.

I've just received mine, but I can't work out how to gain access to the bulb.
I've pulled back the carpet, and this is what I have (mine are the later non-Fiesta light clusters):
The rubber gaiter doesn't feel like it wants to pull away, or am I just not pulling hard enough? I don't want to break anything!
What do you do?

I've worked it out!
You grab the metal bit and pull!
I was surprised to find that someone has already fitted LED stop/tails in the past, but the new one is MUCH brighter. Now to see if I can get a mirror to see the effect of the brake lights.
ETA: I now realise the light unit is meant to screw on and off. And I had the bulb in the wrong way round, so it was permanently on brake lights. Now that I've fitted them properly and checked with a mirror, they are a bit brighter than what was there before, but not as ridiculously bright as they were when wrongly fitted!
Not my finest hour...
So I can report that these do work in the later non-Fiesta light clusters.

Can you get brighter standard bulbs ?
