just check the bulb numbers and match them to a pair of orange/amber ones at the auto parts store. just make sure the the plug part matches up... 2 prong or single prong...

for an orange bulb it should be a bulb like an 1157NA as opposed to a regular 1157 which will be white. i think 1157 is the correct bulb number but honestly i am not positive at the moment. but just look for the bulb yourself by matching it up physically, most of the people at the counter in auto parts stores don't know a gas cap from an oil cap.
