Need part numbers for bulbs...

So I need part numbers for the bulbs in the side scuttles as well as the front lights, the ones underneath the headlights, not the fogs?

I want to get rid of the ugly orange look and get some stealth bulbs,
figured I could just go to Pep Boys or something, because I hate ordering bulbs online...

Any help would be much appreciated.

Looking for a specific part numbers, the side scuttle bulbs aren't listed on there as well.

First, side scuttles or side markers?

Scuttles are your t/s qnd you need to replace the whole unit, outmotoring has them as well as other places.

Side markers are just 194' but I don't know where you would find anything else but amber lenses.

As far as the marker / t/s they are also 194's but the amber comes from a reflection from the t/s for which you would have to buy the silver/amber bulb (1156 or 3156 I don't remember I think its the 1156)

What's a t/s ?

and are you saying that the bulb is part of the scuttle and can't be changed?

Ok i'm confused now...

So I want to replace the bulbs inside the side scuttles.
I didn't think you have to replace the whole unit...?

Also the bulbs in the front, underneath the headlights, not the fogs...
The turn signals I guess.

I know the bulbs flash amber, but I know you can buy the silver "stealth" bulbs
that are silver and light up amber when lit up.

So yea still looking for the number of the bulbs, so I can buy some...

Okay well I found another forum post that was asking a similar question here

https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...-diagrams.html

And according to the Sylvania link posted previously, the side marker bulbs and the bulbs in the repeaters/scuttles are a 2825, but that forum post says 194. I'm thinking you'll need to pull the bulb and bring it in to Pep Boys to compare with those two part numbers.

Sorry for the confusion,

Side scuttles, I was thinking of the LED replacements when I said whole unit, honestly I don't remember what the bulb was when I had mine apart, but outmotoring does offer different lenses as well as LED replacements.

As for the front marker/parking lights these bulbs (194) are clear and the amber color comes from the reflection off the amber t/s (turn signal) bulb (1156) so yes if you buy the silver coated t/s bulbs the parking light will then be white (or any color bulb you choose) because of the silver bulb. (I changed from the clear 194's to the xenon blue bulb so they would better match my HID's)

The 194 & 1156 #'s are the american equivilent to the european 2825 & 7507
