you could try an auto parts store to start with ....tell them its for the rear hatch 3rd brake light for a 92 RS and they will give you a bulb according to their cute little book. If you really want to be sure...take the burnt out bulb with you and match it up.

And when you get back after you decided you didn't want to pay $50 for the bulbs (5 at near $10 a piece) you can go to Radio Shack and pick up the same bulb for $2 each. Search on the electronics board for the part number if you need it.

That is what I did. Even Wal-Mart is cheaper than Autozone for those bulbs, about $4.95 each. Radio Shack is your best bet, but make sure you have the P/N with you. When I went, they had no clue that this bulb could be used for cars.
