Agreed about the two bulbs. Located between the two turn signal bulbs, one left and one right.

I've gotten some from junkers. True that you have to pull the cluster to get them but considering the price of new ones for your car - if I'm in a yard and have the time I'll pull what I can. I've also bought them from fcpgroton.

On '89 and laster, as ChazzyD said, they are halogen. It's a bulb + holder assembly. You can test with a meter.

When you get them working, you can email me and I'll tell you how to modify the cluster so you get more light out of those bulbs. Bypassing the dimmer pot is not my personal favorite since the pot provides a minimum resistance which protects the bulb from full voltage. You want the bulbs to last. There are other things you can do to get more light out of them.
