That's not what you seen, or that's not what you mean?

Vincenti's right, though. The owner's manual says they're type 194 bulbs.

I read somewhere that it's a different number bulb. In my owners manual it doesn't give the number. Can you take a pic of your owners manual or give me the page number?

I attached a listing from the service manual for bulbs in your car this is a 1999 service manual sometimes they change.

According to the 3 dealers I called they take the bulbs with the base already on them. They are not 194s . I wish they were because they are 1.80 each and you have to order them online. No auto parts stores or dealers have them.

The 1997 year must be different than the 99
