Default Replacement bulbs

I've got an 02 T6. Copmuter indicates front position light is burnt out. Manual says it's a "w5w". I'm having trouble buying one of those in North America. I checked the Sylvania website for a replacement. Doesn't list it. One UK site indicates it may be the same as a "T10".

I might be interested in going the LED route.

Lots at the automotive store look like they have the same wedge base. I put in one (temporarily) that might be similar. Looks the same. Computer didn't like it for the first day, but no "New Messages" after that first day.

Anybody know the replacement number for the w5w bulb? Suggestions?

I'm in Canada - no Pep Boys here. Went to Napa and Canadian Tire. They had no idea what I was talking about and couldn't even find it in their computer.

Do you have an Auto Zone? When my headlight burned out I picked up a pair of halogen replacements for 50 bucks. I put em' in and they worked fine.
