Outside mirror bulbs

What type bulbs are in the outside mirrors? The running light in particular. I have one that is intermittent... I'm assuming the turn signal bulb in the mirror will be the same. AutoZone says they are a Sylvania 194, but I just wanted to verify here first.

They are both 2825.

Thank you. Looks like the 194 is the same as the 2825? No Advance Auto Parts around me, so it would have to be Auto Zone.

#2825 Miniature Bulb Glass Wedge Base - 12 Volt 0.4 Amp 4.8 Watt T3-1/4 Glass Wedge Base 4.0 MSCP, C-2R Filament Design, 300 Average Rated Hours. 1.06" (26.80mm) Maximum Overall Length, 13/32" (10mm) Maximum Outer Diameter. 0.50" (12.70mm) Light Center Length (L.C.L.).

#194 Miniature Bulb Glass Wedge Base - 14 Volt 0.27 Amp 3.78 Watt T3-1/4 Miniature Wedge Base, 2.0 MSCP, C-2F Filament Design. 2,500 Average Rated Hours, 1.06" (26.80mm) Maximum Overall Length, 13/32" (10mm) Maximum Outer Diameter. 0.56" (14.20mm) Light Center Length (L.C.L.).

While they are physically interchangeable, it looks to me like the 194 will not burn as brightly.

Just replace them with 194 LED's. Simple swap and I like them better illumination wise and sharper on/off.

looks like 254XP3 beat me to it, but anyways just put LEDs in (if coloured lenses make sure you use the colour matched LEDs, if clear just what ever colour(s) you want) and be done with them...I am switching over to LEDs as my bulbs burn out...

Saw his post too late. I found an Advance Auto Parts here in town and they had the 2825s. All set for now. I like the LED idea for when I have some extra cash to replace all four.
