It's the same as the sidemarkers too. I replaced my sidemarkers with amber bulbs when I switched to the clear housing and kept the bulbs in my center console. One night the same thing happened to me, so when I took the little guy out I remembered the sidemarker bulb and figured they were roughly the same size. Lo and behold they're the same bulb. Switched them and was good to go.
