Got some Clear Corners what size bulb though?

Picked up some clear corners for my T/A and b4 i replace them i wanted to know what size bulb is ran on the front side turn signals? I would pop out the orange ones right now but i'd like to wait until i have the bulbs i want in hand before taking the signal apart.

Plus i am picking up some projector type headlights and hooking up some H4 HID's i'll post pics when i'm done in a week or two with the finished product:
Clear Turn signals, Glass/projector Headlings, 8000K HID's...all on a black T/A sexxy!

thanks for the info in advance.

Rick

I don't think that the bulb size would be different from Camaro to Firebird, but in my car they are #194's. I used LEDs that I got at VATOZONE, like $12 for a pair - much brighter than standards, plus they are only orange when lit, then clear when not.

I am using the amber 194's for the clear side markers & the sylverstar 2057's for the clear front parking lamps.

Still a 194# whether its LED, or standard.

I'm running Silverstar headlamps, high and low beam, but I didn't know about the parking lamps. Thanks for the heads-up. I ordered from the following site should anyone else be interested:

Cool. Unfortunately, I live in the sticks, better than an hour from an AutoZone--or most other major automotive stores. Makes life interesting.

They're pretty cool and a definate improvement over OEM. Bought'em at AutoZone . I'm currently looking at fog light replacement. Silverstar 885. My manual calls for 883. I'm unsure if that will be problematic or not.

Per Sylvania's site, the 885 is the one you need.
