If the bulb needs replacing, what model # are the factory bulbs for my 98 GS4?

i thought about the jdm anniversary lights, but someone else brought up an important point... they are set up for a RHD car, meaning the alignment and cutoff will be opposite of that on a LHD car. there isn't enough manual adjustment in the lights to correct it, and the cutoff will blind opposing traffic
