Default Rear Tail light bulb replacement

Does anyone know what bulb I need to replace the rear corner taillight bulb? I was at Autozone and they said they don't carry it. Its for my 2011 Rx 350.

^What he said, 168. Be careful when pulling out the wires though so as not to pull the other connections.

jonjon43,
My Owner's manual for our '11 RX350, page 605, calls for a W5W bulb which may be LED.
Google W5W bulb and you will get both LED and tungsten. I would look to see what kind
is in my car, and use that type. Hope this helps.

I think W5W = 194 = 168 = T10. If anyone knew the difference please tell me, thanks.

yes, they all have the same wedge shape connector size T10 (10/8-inch). The main difference is the power:
W5W = 5W
194 = 3W
168 = 4W
They are interchangeable since the power is very close ... I would use LED equivalence since LED lasts much longer ...

Yes, LED is good idea. Around 6 monthes ago I put sylvania's into tail lights and phillips w5w into bumper tail lights. Both of them work perfect.
