This Wiki page is an attempt to summarize all OEM bulb types/sizes and was originally created from this thread. For suggestions on upgrade options and/or tips on how to replace some or the bulb, check Lights

• Headlight Bulb Size:
  • 91-01: Low Beam, 9006 -- High Beam, 9005
  • 02-05: Low Beam, HID-D2S -- High Beam, 9005

• Canadian Daytime Running Light:
  • 91-01 (Bumper): 32CP - source: 1991 service manual p 23-190
  • 02-05 (Headlight): 194 (not sure what this is or why it's part of the DRL section)

• Front Corner Lights

The front corner light unit has two bulbs and people refer to them with different terms (such as 'driving lights', 'running lights' or 'parking lights' but the service manual refers to them as the 'position light' (outer one) and 'signal light' (inner one) as per the following diagram. People also find it difficult to remove this light unit in order to replace the bulbs. As the second diagram shows, you need to use a flashlight and a long screwdriver to get at the screw from the lower opening in the bumper. That screw is designed not to come out. When it is fully loosened it will simply drop in the housing enabling you to swing out the light assembly. This keeps it in perfect position for re-tightening.

• Front (corner) Position Light:
  • 91-01 (Bumper): 3652 'wedge bulb' which can be replaced with an 168 or 194 (or 194LL) but both output 1/2 the amount of light of the 3652. The 3652 hour life is only 1/2 to 1/7 of the other two.
  • 02-05 (Headlight): 194

• Front (corner) Signal Light:
  • 91-01 front bumper: 3497 which is reportedly a narrow version of an 1156. They have the same specs but the 3497 is rated at twice the hour life
  • 02-05 side front bumper:
