Rear side marker bulb stolen? Need bulb part/type
 
Greets,

Some LOW LIFE SCUMBAG here in NYC stole my rear side marker bulb over the weekend. I'm not sure if I interrupted them stealing the entire rear side marker but when I came up the the car it was popped out and the bulb was gone.

I popped it back in and drove home. Need help on a how-to to get the rear side marker back open and what type of bulb or cool replacement ideas I can do/try? Also need bulb type for rear red section?

Also does anyone know if that missing side marker bulb would cause the opposite side rear (red part of the half circle) to not light up or just a blown bulb there? (the brake light still illuminates)

I remember something about wrapping a screwdriver in cloth and start prying it from the more rear or narrower side.

thanks

... the bulb 168/194 bulb go to autozone or any autoparts and get a new one.. they have the book with all the bulbs

the bulb itself is a 168/194 bulb, also called a wedge bulb. it shouldnt effect the side marker on the other side, not like a signal light.

I just put a screwdriver in an old sock and pryed toward the rear of the car. It just basically popped out.

No, I've tried snapping it back out, feels like its gonna break so started to wonder if I'm doing it wrong.

thanks

Put the screwdriver on the thinker part (closer to front) and pry out from there... the back one are alot harder to take out then the front so dont be scared to use alittle more force....
