Outermost rear tail light bulb question

Hi,

Well, my car just made a 2500 mile trip to Florida and back. Ran real well, except one of the tanks on the return, when I only got 23 MPG (the diesel that came out didnt foam up at all, and I suspect it was bad fuel).

Anyhow, I noticed that the outermost light on the taillight assembly is out on one side. This is the far outer light, that kind of wraps around the car at the outer edge of the tailight assembly.

I do not have any information as to what the correct bulb is for that location. Fastlane lists a lot of light bulbs, but doesnt really specify location. I assume it is a small bulb, as it isnt very bright and is a very small portion of the taillight.

Also, all I see for sale on fastlane are osram/sylvania bulbs. When doing a search about the bulb I want, I noticed that people mentioned that non-bosch bulbs in the taillights can fry the cruise amp. I want to be sure that I use bosch bulbs, unless the osram/sylvania ones that are Ni plated on the base are OK for my cruise amp, in which case Ill buy them and swap them in.

Thanks for the help,

JMH
