They take two different numbers, a 194 and a 164 I think. I always just stick a 194 in all of them.

DITTO buy a box of 194 form your local autoparts store itll take them all if you change all of them.

Or go with the LED equivalents. There's a thread on here about that already.

The LEDs are a good option, but can be pricey. Best source is eBay (via china) for these. Can get them for about $1 each.

The bulbs are either a 168 or 194. The 168 is a 2CP and the 194 is a 3CP. I used all 194 bulbs before I switched to LED. If you like the old bulb colored light (vs modern) but want it brighter.....check out other bulbs that have the same base. I believe there are some with numbers like 28xx or something that have a higher wattage. Just don't get too high.....it will melt plastic.
