It tells you in the owners manual so check to be sure but here in the UK they are C5W or commonly known as Festoon bulbs.
I recently changed mine and i did the glass covers too because they are very cheap from MB and mine had gone off white. The new covers look great, it made a heck of a difference.
One thing, dont get LED. They are too white and flicker / go off even if you get the ones that are meant to have built in resistors to prevent that.
Get regular colour festoon for a few $ and replace the 2 covers for about $15 each.
Just my opinion ofcourse.

What do you mean by "did the glass covers"?
Also... I have LEDs atm, but shows up as an error on my cpu even though they are working perfectly
Will that error affect the computer and stuff?
