Two 3157s and one 194 for each side.

I dont think thats right, 194's are small. The ones i have are the size of 900 series bulbs. Please advise. I want to put blue bulbs in there.

First of all, blue is one of those illegal colors. The only colors allowed in the signal/parking lights are amber and white.

Second of all, 194's will fit in there fine and will light up just like the 906 that is in there right now. Heck, you can even put a 168 in there if you want so you can match the color.

There are a few other choices. See this chart:

If you want the 3157 in a silver or chrome bulbs goto Meijer's. In the automotive section with all the other auto bulbs. Look for a black hanging package. On the package it says 3057 but they are 3157. I have installed them in my X. You can get red or amber, I think also white but I don't remember. Not sure if they have the 900's or 194's in the chrome or silver. Its $3.99 per bulbs.

It's legal. As long as the lights are amber color or white, but not blue nor red and any other wild colors.
