You can check your owners manual; it will tell you. The bulb number escapes me at the moment. Unless you want some expensive aftermarket bulbs, the replacements can be bought at any auto parts store. There may even be a book there in the store to tell you what the bulb number is.
 












I believe its a 168 or 194 wedge bulb.
 






Are you wanting to replace with stock bulbs? Your corner bulbs are 168 or 194. They are interchangeable. They are both small wedge bulbs and you can use either one.

If you are looking to go with aftermarket for a brighter bulb or colored bulb then let me know as i have a few good sites for you to check out.
 






Hey Gary, why don't you go ahead and post those bulb website names anyway. Bulbs are a popular topic around here and where to get them in necessary info. If you've got some places we can buy some quality aftermarket bulbs, then by all means share!:)
 






Ok here we go................

As far as PIAA bulbs go I found a guy who can get them cheaper than what Matt can do on a group buy (sorry matt). I just bought a pair of PIAA 9004 platinum superwhites for $55.00. He only charged me 4 bucks to have them air mailed. I don't think there is a better deal anywhere else! To contact him just email "Gene" at keyparts@interbaun.com.

www.autodynamic.com is where I got my optiblue colored bulbs. They are very good bulbs and only cost a couple of bucks. They also offer Polarg bulbs which are very good bulbs!

www.autosyndicate.com Another excellent lighting company

www.autoaccesory.com Another good site to check out

www.sporttruck.com Offers a wide variety but sells APC bulbs which I have heard some negative things about APC so shop with caution.

www.radiantz.com offers custom LED lighting

http://catalog.com/susq/hella/bulbs.htm For those of you who are Hella fans. Typical brighter halogen bulb runs about 10-11 bucks at this site.

For info on the "alleged" Xenon blue look alike headlights (which suck) just check out www.possi.com/bluebulb.htm for the facts.

Hope this helps :D
