Brake Lights: What type bulb? V70-XC70

Normally I'd look this up in the owner's manual; but daughter is inbound one day out in the 2000 V70, returning from a trip. Called on mobile phone to say one brake light is out (so says the driver behind her and the dash warning light). Owner's manual is in the glovebox, where else?

Can the board provide the correct lamp type for a V70 brake light so?

Thanks!

Robert

    Don't have the manual handy, but I think it's a generic 1156, 21W. Check the application book at the end of the lighting aisle in the auto parts dept of the mart of your choice, or ask the guy at the counter at NAPA.

    it's an 1156.

    Make sure both brake light bulbs are the same manufacture or the bulb monitoring circuit may still turn on the light saying the bulb is out cause of different bulbs being used. Just replace both rear brake light bulbs with the same type.
