Ah ok, I guess I will need to do some research in my parts and illustration guide to see if I can find what the specs are and I will just order some.
I am currently trying to find a 1142 LED bulb that will fit under the clear bulb cover. I also need to order a bulk pack of BA9s bulbs in Green and Warm White as well.
Too bad the truck at work doesn't have one I could use that as a way to find a close match.

Looking up hardware like that in the parts manual sucks; I'd match the thing up to where it's supposed to mount (locate the pre-drilled holes) then get something from the local hardware store that will work.

That's what I ended up doing with the 82 at work that I am putting back together I just find what will work and threaded it in where need be.
That is a easy problem for me, my problem is locating the correct LED bulb I want for this light its a BA15D base but the two pins on the bottom one is + and one is - but most of what I am finding is 1157 style bulbs where both pins are + and the side case is -.
The few I did find they are 1.8" and it wont fit under the plastic cover as the oem 90 series bulb is 1.44" max over all length. I believe I could get away with one up to 1.50" but that is at most.
