Default License Plate Bulbs

Does anyone know what size bulbs to use on the hatch (the ones that light up your rear license plate)?

I'd like to replace them with blue (if it's legal) or bright white (if blue isn't legal).

Thanks much.

If you are looking to get pulled over than get blue! Otherwise it is ILLEGAL!

Hopefully mine will last longer, Just installed the instrument panel LEDS and the dome light. The dome light is a bit dimmer than before, but it looks sweet. The instrument panels are the same brightness as before, except BLUE!!

WhiteBlazer01 is gonna change my gauges, clock, and indicator lights to blue on saturday. I'll post some pics when it's all done.
