Bulb Sizes for Back Up Light & License Plate

I know this has been posted a while ago but I can't find what I'm looking for using the search. So here's my question, what size bulbs does our car use for the back up lights & the license plate? I want something white in color, inexpensive, & long lasting. I remember someone saying that they had trouble either getting a bulb to fit or finding one they liked.

Try here:

Bulb Sizes

License Plate Lights = 168 (same as our front corners; top and bottom)

Back up Lights = 3497
