Need number for bulb

After fighting with the new bumper lenses (See all the new pictures here ) I accidently busted a bulb, its this one:



Does anyone have a part number or anything for it so I can go pick one up, it looks silly with the headlights on, but only one of those lit up

Anyone else have an idea as to what it is? I may just print out a picture and bring it to the dealership?

LDH was right, those two numbers are the same bulb. You can get those anywhere, I actually got some LED's off ebay that fit, they are super blue it rocks...but you should be able to get that bulb anywhere (autozone etc) and the EASIEST way to get to the bulb, is to take off the little black piece under the bumper, i think its like 2 screws, then use a light or something so you can see back there to get the bulb out, it just pulls out of the harness and you just slide a new one in. the bulbs are like 2 bucks a pair for the factory amber replacement one's. if you dont pull the black piece out from under the car, you have to take the corners out, and sometimes thats a big pain. Looks like you have the clear corners though so I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Yeah, I think I need to get amber bulbs for the new signals, legally aren't they supposed to be amber? That side was actually pretty easy for me to get back out to double check the bulb, so I will probably do it that way.

Depends on the state.

In Texas, the front signals can glow in a "color ranging from white to yellow."

yeah, amber is the legal color, but in ND for some reason they dont pull us over for having blue lights, which is weird because normally they dont have much else better to do than pull you over for little crap like that. I bet around 1 or 2 when the bars close, they would consider pulling me over for the blue lights...but not any other time.

Hmm, well, I wouldn't be too suprised if they want to pull me over now. Some of the laws here suck pretty bad, like how I can't legally tint my windows By the way, I just got home and put the new bulb in, it is a 168 and matches the other one perfectly to my eye. The only thing I noticed is that the old bulb has 193 written on it

It doesn't really matter. I put superwhite bulbs from Autozone $3 a pair and they look very nice. I replaced the ones in the parking lights and the side marker. Check it out:





As you can see, the parking lights match my Silverstars very well. The reason why the second pic's lights are bluer is because of the yellow fog lights mad ethe camera compensate the color.

I like how the fogs bring out the blue in the lights, that looks really clean. I'll try to remember to get a pic or two of my new clear corner bulbs tonight after work, i hate working on sundays, I have to "watch" the game on NFL.com...but yeah, the 193 and 168 or whatever, are the same bulbs.

Those lights down low look very very nice. Mine have that sort of faded/yellow sort of look to them, I'll have to try them out.
