Default Inner Headlight Bulb

Just realized the inner headlight bulb is out when the headlights are on. I searched a little bit and got frustrated, must have not been using the right words. What is the bulb number for this bulb, circled in blue in my picture?

Thank you!

I dont think that the light output of those tiny bulbs will effect night time driving at ALL , lol ...Most automotive places carry these bulbs , autozone kragens Etc .

Not for night driving, just don't feel like getting pulled over. They aren't friendly around here. 11/10, yes I said 11 times out of 10 you will get a ticket rather than a warning. I say that because they will always manage to break out the rule books for not something generally enforced and tack it on.

Sounds about right LOL... Anyway, I'm going to just go buy some regular 194s at the store and deal with it for now. Thanks for everyone's help in such a simple matter lol. Not a noob or anything just didn't know what these lights were called. Who knows how long it's been out either because I just noticed last night.

194 wedge bulb. It snaps straight in and out.

I'm using Polarg M4's. You can also fit M6's in there for more light but its a snugger fit.
