You are about to get several rude posts telling you to use the search feature. This is not one of them.

Your user manual will tell you most of the bulb sizes. What it won't tell you is that the dome light is a 1 3/16 inch torpedo bulb.

Step light and liscense plate bulbs are 194/168. Corners are 1156 and 1157, I forget which is which. Brake light is 3157. Backup lights are again 1157(?). Fogs are H3.

Most people will recommend Polarg if you just want super-white. And you can get them all at Custom Maxima. If you want colored, there are a ton of places and a ton of opinions as to brand quality and type.

One thing to note however, if you want blue lightbulbs, go LED. Many people don't recommend LED bulbs, but the best you will get out of regular bulbs is a girlie aqua, so you gotta get LEDs for real blue.

A real good place to get replacement lights, either Polarg or PIAA (which I highly recommend), is www.optauto.com.

Every bulb you could want to know about...

This thread link has all the info you will ever need to know about bulbs for your car.

Even some price comparisons. OptAuto is definitely the place and I recommend PIAA Extreme Whites for matching with HID's
