Simple bulb switch

[PassionforPassionCT]

I wanted to switch out the amber bulbs in the running lights so that the car has a more European look and is equipped with "city lights" I don't think the bulbs are too terribly hard to replace. But I was wondering if anyone knew the bulb type and the part number (for the clear, not amber which is in the book)

Any 5W (12V) 194 wedge type bulb should work. I recently updated mine with white LED's.

Well its an E4 bulb. Autozone was worthless and didnt have it, local parts store had it for 50 cents a bulb. Wasnt easy though switching it out. Cut my hands on sharp edges inside the service flap and the sockets didnt want to move. But I like the look a lot better. Cleaner in my opinion.
At least mine will stand out a little bit now
