Default retrofit HID bulb to 92' corner lamp question

I've been searching this morning and I see that the 92-94 corner lamps use a 1156 bulb. I have no problem with a little fab work to create a bracket to hold a bulb in there, but I want to know which HID bulb style to order....h3? etc???

only on the 95+. The 92-94 are 1156 and I"m "told" that the fogs are different on the 95-96 units despite similar appearance.

dont do it half assed and just stick a bulb in the housing...

I have already solved the issue on fitting HID's into the factory cornering lamp housings:

do it right and get the proper light output.

and no, H3 bulbs wont fit.
