Which lights are you trying to change? I have a write up for the ones in the trunk lid.

I would do up the outer lights, but it'* way to cold at -9

I might be wrong, but I think those bulbs are 194 So just look for the bulbs with 194 as the part number.

3 years for a bulb that gets used quite frequently is pretty good
