The W5W bulb is also called 2825 type. You should be able to find it at your local Walmart.

BTW I'm gonna move this to the Lighting forum since this info may help others as well.

its actually a 194, but brighter. Do not substitute it for the 194, because they are dimmer (unless its something you want) but they are the same exact size.

I bought mine from AutoZone. They are readily available.
