2008 Cougar Docking lights

Does anyone happen to know what type bulb is used in the docking lights on the front of a 2008 Cougar?
Thanks

My '07 uses 1156 single contact bulbs. I converted to LEDs the 1156 was too bright.

Where did you get your lights from, or did you just replace with another 1156 led bulb?

To me, headlights shining in my eyes while trying to hitch up a trailer didn't make much sense. That is what a cargo light is for. I replaced 1156s with much dimmer amber LEDs. They are now good to give just enough light to get around a dark campsite without disturbing neighbors. I never could understand the "Hitch Vision" mirror either .... I can see the hitch and pin without it. Good idea for a TT though.

If you go with LEDs try to find those that are ac/dc.They did not pay attention to polarity on some of the exterior lights. You may have to remove entire light and switch polarity to make dc only bulbs work .... the voice of experience speaking .... all my exterior lights and some interior are LED.
I don't remember part # but I bought them from http://www.superbrightleds.com/
