eyelid bulb type

One of my bulbs is out and I want to run to the store on the way home from work to snag a replacement. I dont think i'll have an option for anything better than an oem type light, but I need to get it fixed just because I have OCD and hate that i have a message that says "check your parking lamps"

I remember seeing the Polarg lights were like 194-168 is that the bulb type for regular styled bulbs too? Idk much about lightbulb codes (if theyre universal across manufacturers or what)

I briefly tried a seach but didnt see anything.. And I dont have my owners manual.

Those will get the job done for now. But you may want to (if it suits your tastes of course) consider switching to LED once a viable solution/product finally comes out onto the market. If the ones that AznC300 has are fine, then those will be the ones to get.
