I beleive they are 3157's.
But I have another odd question. What bulbs go in the rear indicators/brake lights? I checked the manual and cross referenced my car at some local parts stores and they all said that the bulb used was 1157's. But when I went to change the bulb, it was a 3157. Does anybody else have 3157's in the rear lights?

Sure. From www.sylvania.com it is listed as 3457ALL. I bought these replacement lamps a few weeks ago and they are actually clear instead of amber. They are bright when you have your turning lights on but dim when it is just your parking and/or headlights. You still might be able to find them in amber though.

White turn signal lights are not only illegal, but a safety hazard as well. You are in for a lot of tickets!

The front turn signal bulb is a 3457NA or 3457NALL (amber) and is readily available at any auto parts store.

Please go pick up the correct bulb and make the road a little safer for your fellow motorists.
