Do you have your owner's manual? You should look in there.
No you don't have your owner's manual? You should look on the front of the headlight. They're listed there. Assuming you are in the USA.

those don't really have a standard size nor a reference number.
THey are simply called 'city light'. if you buy a brand called Raybrig, they are "M17", but they are a blue shade, and not very bright.

I found this online for Polarg M17 city lights:
Polarg Lights
Another Polarg dealer
How are these lights? Any good? Will they burn normal, or will the computer say that there's a burnt out bulb? THey're only $16 and are supposed to have a blue tint.
I'd like my city lights to have a white tint rather than blue. Do you guys know of any white M17s?

They won't give you any problems and so far, no burn-outs yet. However, fyi, these bulbs are painted blue.
You can't even see inside it. So, as you can imagine, it barely lights up. Only upside is that its not yellow like the stock one, but don't expect it to be even half as bright as stock ones.

I have Polarg M17 and they're still very bright, the blue tint gives the bulba white/blueish color when it's on. I got them for $10 at 99 Ranch Market in Irvine.
Yes yes,..... they are Polarg. wrong brand mentioned.

nope, not the Polarg brand. the output is bluish/white, but the brightness is probably 1/2 of the factory bulb's output.
Take a look at the pic: Click to zoom in.... you can't see the inside of the bulb, which tells you how heavy the blue coating is.
