gl550 tail light bulb part #
i've been googling to get the correct part # for tail light bulb for my 2014 gl550. i notice today that top part of tail light on both sides are out.
i think the whole tail light has to lit up at night even when you are not breaking or when are your turn signal is on.. i only see two strips of lights on both side and top triangle-ish part is dark. what's the part # for the bulb? thanks in advance.

my 2013 "top" portion of the tail lights are turn signals and are LEDs (why those and parking lights are standard LEDs and the brake lights are halogen is still a sore spot for me) ... turn signals are independent of the parking lights (ones you refer to that are always on at night)

It could be even more infuriating when you find out the x164 gl had led brake and turn signals from factory.
Why the taillights regressed is beyond me.

IKR .... the last of my halogen bulbs (rest have been LEDized ... lol) are the front turn signals ... Cannot figure out how to access those bulbs without removing the entire front light assembly ... ughhhhh ... anyone have thoughts suggestions?
