Default Replacing all Tail light bulbs, how many do i need to order?

My inner tail lights are fading badly, so i'm going to change out the red bulbs in all the tail lights so they match. I just need to know how many to order. Thanks

i didn't think it has anything to do with the bulbs, but more the red coating is fading. this has happened to my brother's car 2 times. he bought another set & then that started to fade. he finally went to Autozone & bought the red spray tint & resprayed them.

Thanks for the reply. I also purchased some red out vinyl overlay to put over the lights. I figured changing the bulbs to bright red ones will help as well.

If you didnt like how the overlays turned out, you can always get the red tail light spray paint. works like a charm
