Most definitely ALIENS...
If we all had to order original bulbs, I am sure someone would monopolize
the market and put us all in the poor house. Anyway, back to the question,
I know that their are some higher wattage bulbs out their, but they are more
expensive (and are actually intended for brightening the reverse lights. If
you get more bulbs locally just get satandard ones and you should be fine.
hope this helps,
