far side firebird tail light out, bulb question

[00firebird]

my far left tail light on the left side (the first of the three from left to right) doesn't light up at all.

tested it under the following conditions:
car on + headlights on = off
car on + headlights on + brakes = off

in the others like blinker, emergency, and brakes with lights off, they were also off- however i think they are normally off in thoes conditions, and it is just the 2nd and 3rd that come on there. unless my far right is also out, but it came on in the two conditions i posted above.
why i am posting this, is what kind of light bulb is it? is it a normal reflector light, a regular light, a blinker light,.. ?

The outside bulbs are just marker lights if its the same as the camaro's. It's a 194.

[00firebird]

anyone for sure with firebirds? camaros look alot different from the outside anyways

[FireFighter]

What does looking different have to do with it? Pull the bulb out, make sure its a 194 and go to the parts store.

i am saying that the firebird could be set up differently

[FireFighter]

Do what I said and come back and tell me what bulb it is.

i will tomorrow, ive never even taken the lamps off yet so that will prolly take me a few hours to figure out

Open the hatch. Look behind the taillights and you'll see several black plasic wingnut looking pieces. Unscrew them. Bam. Tail light falls out. Turn and pull to get the bulb out. Should take you under a minute.

00firebird: firefighter is right, the bulb is 194 for firebirds and camaros alike.

I didn't tell you that because I wasn't sure how to take them out but, I was sure that they were te same bulbs.

T-punk, mine just popped out, maybe yours is glued in or something?
