Light bulb question...

My car tells me that my rear license plate light is out and tail light is out (when you turn the lights on it says left tail light out, switching to backup). so what type of bulb is the the license plate and what type of bulb is for the tail light for only when you turn on headlights?

TIA!

while we are talkin about bulbs:

That has been the most useful thread for me and finding bulbs, but are the parking light the light that turns on when you lock your doors (other than the fogs of course)... the little bulbs that are on in the smaller of the two little round lamps in the headlights?

thanks!

Yes, the W5W lamp in the headlamp housing next to the high beam lamp is called the parking lamp by many people.
