anyone know the number for the bulb in the tail light? i assume there are 2 different one, cause when the lights are on at night, the rear brake light is out. but when i put on my brake, both taillights light up. how hard is it to replace? thanks

its just a double filament bulb w/ one of the filaments burnt out...really really easy to replace...just remove the little screw things in the trunk and bend the black fabric material just enough so you can unscrew the bulb...then just pop it out and thats it

ummm...

if you want OEM, walmart has the sylvania bulb that is an exact match (unless you want to replace both). I've had the bulbs go out in both the max and the PF. sucks.. at least they are cheap to replace.
