take the bulbs out and take them to your partshouse, just match them up. i know of only two bulbs that fit the same socket but are different. 1157 and 1056 i think, but they are in older cars

The factory part number is 5013815AA and retail for $1.85. Not sure of the aftermarket part number...

Thanks Parts/Service! Are these difficult to replace? I've searched a few threads here, and it looks relatively straightforward. Ive never had my dash/bezel off before, though - a bit nervous!

Its fairly easy. Take out the one screw above the hook on the radio bezel. Then pull on the hook and the bezel will come off. Pretty simple from there...
