Default Corner Light Bulb Size???

Hi there everyone!!! I already tried using the search engine but no luck
Anyhow I need to replace my front corner lights. Does anybody know what size the bulb is? I went down to Autozone and they only had 1157 size bulbs they look similar compared to the original ones only difference is that the bottom "elements" is more longer, oval looking. And the ones at the Autozone were just round.
I'm trying to get them in Hyper White aswell so they can match my DEPO Angel Eyes.
Please someone share some light with this thanks again!

1157 is the right bulb type for the front and 1156 for the rear turn signals. Piaa makes one that lights up bright white, but anything other than amber is illegal for street use.

Cheers,

H3_2.1-ti got right infos. If you are using clear corners then you can try PIAA superwhite, Sylvania silverstar (yellow), or bulbs that is painted chrome or silver to blend in. Get some HID for the Depo headlight!

Niiice!!! Thanks guys for the response. I am definitely going to get a set of those PIAA Super White Bulbs you guys mentioned. And I'm waiting on that group buy for the HID's to go through then everything should look clean.
So I guess it doesnt matter if the bottom part of the bulbs is longer or shorter, aslong as there are 2 elements it should work. Right???
