headlight corner bulb type

what kind of bulb is in the corner section of the headlight. It looks like its some kind of flashlight bulb but i want to get LED's for the two corners. I already know that the lower corner bulb is a 174 i just need the bulb type of the upper one in the headlight

Please search before starting a new thread, this was taken right from the n00b guide

Front corners | 168/194

That is the bulb type

All the bulb types are here in the n00b guide.

The upper and lower corners are the same bulb, as are the rear corners in the tail lights and the license plate bulbs, all listed in the n00b guide

Funny, I've replaced my corner lights top and bottom 6 or 7 times, and all the bulbs I used were 194/168 wedge bulbs

Just look in your owners manual and know for sure.

Maybe the previous owner did some kind of crazy corner retrofit?

Well, you asked the bulb size, and that's 194/168 wedge

They do resemble police maglight flash light bulbs in a way

It's all good. I've been trying to ask as many questions as possible so I won't have to ask as many in the future :P

something better to do is search as much as possible rather than ask, so you don't have to ask unless its definitely something that hasn't been covered
