Need Bulb Type for Scuttle Side and rear turn signal

What bulb number is used on the side market/scuttle turn signal and the rear tail light turn signal? I'd like to purchase a chrome bulb to replace the orange on in there.

Appreciate any help.

Bump.

I have a feeling it's the same 194 wedge bulb as the city lights, but I'd like to double check.

This isn't always correct and my Coupe is a 2012...

Does anyone actually know and would be willing to post the actual bulb number for future generations who perform a search on this?

Just something I've noticed in my search for the same information, it seems folks would rather post a link to a vendor's site page than the actual bulb number. While I can appreciate and am willing to support the vendors, about half of the links I've run across are broken now and the other half don't include the actual bulb number.

It is indeed #194 for side scuttles. I have a Coupe as well and replaced the amber with bulbs purchased from Stealth Auto on Saturday.

There is a thread out there with this information but it's hidden within another topic. If I find it I'll update this post. My apologies for providing another link but this is exactly what you're looking for, even if it's not where you eventually purchase the bulbs from.

Bulb type - #194 - Single filament peanut bulb.

Bulb numbers are in the Owners Manual. They are given in European designation and you might need to look up the equivalent number in the US.

For the original post (2007 MCS), the manual says side scuttles are 5 watt W5W (i.e., 192), and rear turn signal is 21 watt P21W (i.e., 1156).

Well, it's always worked for me and was directed to the OP's 2007 MCS NOT your 2012 Coop. Sorry for trying to help.

I used to buy the Stealth bulbs all the time until I bought some chrome paint from the local hardware store. I just took out all the amber bulbs and inserted them into a piece of styrofoam from any electronics device box and just sprayed those suckers. The can was like $6 and I kept my original bulbs. I do this on almost all the family cars now. Really easy, cheap, and ,more importantly, convenient.

Oh, now you tell me.





I always keep my old bulbs, anyway. If one of the ones I've ordered go out, I'll just do this to one of the old ones...
