Check the Gen 1 - 1.5 Tutorials forum, there's a complete lighting guide there that will give you plenty of information on the bulbs. I do believe they're #74.

If you're looking to swap them out, try http://www.autolumination.com/, or if you're electric-savvy, you can pick up the actual LEDs and do your own stuff at http://www.lsdiodes.com/. I've heard several people here have had good experiences with AutoLumination, and I've used LSDiodes for computer modding on several occasions - they pack their lights well and they've got good customer service. Either one will do you well.

Any bulbs going to blind you with nothing between you and the bulb.

All you gotta do to keep from being blinded is to take off the black bezel, rip a corner out of a sheet of paper, wrap paper around the column where the turn signals are and the green circle used to be, and rubberband it to keep it on. It'll be whitefaced turn signals, and the light wont blind you.

I believe the size is officially 2721, but 74 is much more common and will fit. (FYI, 74 has a very slightly bigger base, but it will fit in a 2721 bulb slot, snuggly)

If you go to your local Pep Boys, there is a book in the isle where the replacement bulbs are located with every car manufacturer, make and model with all the bulb numbers listed next to each year & model of the car.

You might also perhaps be able to check it of there website.......If anything just give them or any local automotive shop and ask they'll be able to look it up for you.

They are 74, and if you dont like the whiteface look you can do what I did and cut out circles of window tint to replace those green plastic disks.

I have two layers of 20% over red bulbs for my signals now and it looks nice. If I had to do it again I might even do 3 layers.
