Default Underhood Light Assembly

I'm looking for the bulb size for the underhood lights that attach to the back of the hood and light up when the hood is lifted. Does anyone know what size these are?

I've called my local NAPA, Murray's\Checkers, and did a couple of online searches and I can't find the bulbs anywhere. Any help you guys could provide would be great.

The car is an 85' with the 4+3.

Thanks!

I bought the underhood light bulbs at Autozone.

Make sure you hold the Glass lens while unscrewing it because it will fall down and break if you don't.

My lenses were actually stuck in the housing. I broke the passenger side one trying to pry it out. I didn't realize they were glass until it broke, so be careful when taking them out. Replacement lenses are not cheap either.

It should be the same bulb as the interior lamps.
