Idiot light

okay guys I am trying to wire up my 3 wire alternator and I am having trouble finding out what size light bulb I should use for the exciter wire, I am going to Radio Shack later today to get the light bulb but can someone tell me a part number or what kind of bulb is needed for the idiot light for the alternator, thanks!

You can use a 161 bulb or a 50 ohm resistor.
