Question Taillight bulb for W202 -- source?

Hello, all,

The accusing little "exterior bulb out" light came on this morning, and I find it's the tail/parking/standing lamp on the driver's side that seems to be out. (In the owner's manual, it's No. 4 on the diagram.)

Can I just get a 5W/4cp bulb from Autozone, or must I go to the dealer for a bulb with the correct resistance? I ask because on the W126, if you put in the wrong tail bulb, it could blow out your cruise control. Or has MB fixed that annoying problem?

Thanks,
.
