Thank you. NAPA is one that has it in white; I was able to find a red one at FCP Euro. I wish I could find an LED bulb for the brake light but I haven't had much luck. It looks like the issue is that the brake light bulb for my car is a double filament bulb with two contacts at the bottom. I can find LED replacements for all my single filament bulbs but not the double. |

It looks like I found the correct halogen in red in a couple of places.

Was going to suggest Diode Dynamics (in Missouri) although it looks like you’re sorted |

I’ve always known those bulbs as 'fog and tail' bulbs, not 'stop and tail' bulbs. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Fog and marker lights have one bottom electrical contact, as they are either "on" or "off." Brake light bulbs will have two electrical contacts and be a double filament bulb so they can be both "on" and brighter when you step on the brake. |

No joy, they didn't fit. |
