99spec combo bulbs

Does anyone know what number bulb goes in the 99spec combo lights. I'm refering to the white lights, not the amber turn bulb. Thanks!

194's? Aren't those the interior size bulbs for like dome lights and such?

Anyone know off the top of their head if they make Silverstars in them...so that I can match them to headlights?

i've always used 194's for replacing all of those. in fact i just went outside and test fitted the 194 polarg's that i used to have in my honda. they fit just fine.

i'm pretty sure sylvania makes a set, but i highly recommend the polarg hyper whites

Can you please point me in the direction to these online? These are direct pop in right, they won't fry fuses/wiring/etc.?

I was just thinking about this 2 days ago...I never did buy the bulbs and now that I am getting the car ready for the driving months this popped back in my head.

So, has anyone found a bulb for the 99spec lights that is WHITE, not **** yellow? Silverstar doesn't seem to come in a 194 from my searching. And I take it 168 is too much wattage?

PIAA WEDGE BULB XTREME WHITE 19172 (168 Bulb Type, Twin Pack)

19172 Regular price: $14.50Sale price: $10.88


From http://www.ltbmotorsports.com/pimibu.html

This is what I have been using for the past year, both in my 99 combo lights & for the interior light, I even put one in the glove box.

18 w bulbs are noticeably brighter, but don't put enough of a load on the wires to cause any problems.

Does anyone know, for sure, if the bulbs for the "blinker" are the same? I cant imagine why they wouldn't be but you never know.

they're not the same actually - they're bigger bulbs...not sure of the number/part. As for the front 168s - I replaced them with a pack of 168 LEDs I bought at a local shop. I think they were made by APC or some rice company lol They look great though. Each bulb has two white LEDs and they light up a nice HID blueish/white. Very clean looking.
