    Well, for US spec CQ bulb holders you have 5 bulbs, the outer most bulb is a P21-12V26,9W (N 901 423 01), next inward is a P25-2-12V29,6/8,3W (N 901 424 01), 3rd in is a R5W-12V5W (N 017 718 5), and the inner 2 bulbs are P21-12V26,9W (N 901 423 01).

    The pigtail is a W3W-12V3W (N 017 752 2)

    Euro spec CQ bulb holders: outer most is a P21W-12V21W (N 017 732 2), 2nd in is a P21/5W12V21/5W (N 017 738 2), 3rd in is R5W-12V5W (N 017 718 5), and the innermost 2 are a P21W-12V21W (N 017 732 2).

    No pigtail on the Euros.

      are the #s in parenthesis the dealer part #? the # after the V is the wattage of the bulb. how come for the US spec the outter most light bulb a dual filament bulb? is it suppose to be a parking light and turn signal? if so my cq originally came with a singel filament bulb just for the turn signal.

          You realize the outer most bulb is a single filament? P21-12V26,9W is 26.9W no other wattage listed like with P25-2-12V29,6/8,3W (29.6W and 8.3W).

            i see. i got confused looking that the 26,9W. i thought it was 26W and 9W hence i was thinking it was a 2 filament bulb.

            which one is the rear foglight bulb? the bulb next to the reverse light or the bulb next to the brake/parking light?

            thanks for the info of the bulbs listed above!

              I got confused the first few times I looked up bulbs in ETKA too...

              Don't know, on the sedans it's to the left of the reverse light.

              Not a problem, from what I remember most auto parts stores don't carry the right bulbs here...or at least the right wattages. Autohausaz.com had a nice selection of OE bulbs for pretty cheap ($.66/ea versus $2.50 list) although if you're not doing a big order you'd have to pay shipping...in which case getting them at the dealer might not be that big of a difference.
