Default lighting question

Ok, so I finally got my hood open so I can actually do this. One of my driving/fog lights burned out, and I would greatly desire to replace it. Thing is, the auto part stores in my area (autozone/napa) don't seem to know what I'm talking about when I ask for the bulb that I need. Soooo... what do you guys know of that I can stick in there that'll fit okay? Brighter is better. If you got a part # I can take to autozone, that would be fantastic. Also a part # for parking lights would be cool too, cause those'll probably go next.

What is there as far as aftermarket lighting for the driving lights and parking lights? I think it'd look snazzy if I could brighten the heck out of them.

I got my replacement at Advance Auto (formerly Partsamerica). I'm surprised the autozone doesn't have it. Stupid question--- Did you show them the bulb? Reason I asked is sometimes the listings aren't correct. I can't remember what the bulb number is, maybe some one else knows. Good Luck :cheers:

I replaced mine with Sylvania 886 which is a 50 watt bulb. If you replace both of the bulbs, make sure you have a 15 amp fuse in the circuit instead of the 10 amp.

you can look at the website of most of the autopart stores online, and find what you need/want then just take the part number into the store to get it.
