Default 2005 XL1200R Brake Light Equivalent

Need to replace my wedge-style brake light. Anyone know an automotive equivalent part number (i.e., Sylvania, etc.) to the H-D part #68167-04 that I can replace this bulb with?

Just take it with you to any auto parts store to get a match, they are a stock bulb and available in numerous brands, as well as unbranded.

Thanks. Did that last night but parts book gives no specs and guy behind counter was of no help unless I had specs. Was hoping someone just knew the number equivalent to HD's proprietary part number - no dealer nearby for me to just go pick one up.

A liitle late to the party, but here's a visual:
If it has the regular, round base and two filiments, it's 1157. Single, 1156 (on left).
Those #s are different for a "wedge" style bulb. 3157 double (on right) and 3156 single, iirc.

Thanks multihdrdr, d24112, and HarleyScuba, the #3157 bulb was right on! Finally was able to get over to Autozone and pick 'em up (they come in pairs) and all is good now.

Thanks again!
