Does anyone know the name/size of the auxiliary headlight bulb?

Both these lights burned out within a day of each other (they're the originals, over 6 years old). Before I go to the trouble of removing the headlight nacelle only to find out that my local auto parts store doesn't have such a bulb, I'm hoping to find out what it is so I can make sure it's locally available before I start the job. Can anyone tell me what the size and/or code number of this bulb? The service manual didn't have that information, or at least I couldn't find it.

Duh, I should've used the search engine first; this has been asked before. Still, feel free to chime in, as the last post is from 2018 and maybe there are some new choices out there.

Thanks bimota. I was just reading those in the earlier thread. Are they a direct plug and play replacement for the incandescent bulb? No weird adapters or anything needed?

Yep, I got that link from the earlier post, SparrowHawkxx. Thanks. I put them in my Amazon cart. O'Reilly Auto has some on their website too, so I'm going to check tomorrow and see if I can get them locally.

I managed to burn out three headlights (two auxiliary and one main) in the space of three days. Not the kind of trifecta that I wanted to win.

Walmart even has the led plug in in the automotive section. The ones I got had 5 diodes. Cheap, no shipping and no waiting.
