Question Parking light...what kind of bulb

I have an '03 EX coupe....the front right parking light is out. I looked in the manual, doesn't say what type of bulb. the guy at pepboy's was a d**k and when i looked online at sylvania.com it listed two bulb types.....168 and 7443. Which one is it? When I dug deeper, I founded that some are interchangeable, but to my amateur eye, it doesn't like they'd fit.

...and to fall slightly off-topic, LED or regular bulb? suggestions?
Thank you!!!!!!!

you have 2 bulbs in there, the small one is a 194 or 168 and the big one is a 7443.

ya the one behind the orange is the big 7443. the other clear one is 168. those burn out all the time thanks to hondas headlight design skills. i see civics every day with one or both burned out. i switched to 2x brighter raybrigs and they've been fine for a while now. they look like 10w instead of 5w. i have them all over the car, dome, sidemarker, license plate lights, door markers, etc. great bulbs.
