My  owners manual calls for the same bulb for the stop/tail light(1034), but
when I pulled the assembly there was a much smaller bulb in the taillight
postion. This doesn't match what the owners manual says but does match the
bently, see  Page 94.6, which shows a smaller 5W bulb.  This is the bulb I
cannot seem to find. I talked with a local mechanic and they said a #57 or
#63, does this sound right?

Thanks
JoeP
