2000 XJ, stopped at FLAPS to buy some bulbs.
Courtesy lamps are listed as a 168 but that is a wedge bulb, these are a normal base. The stock ones for the footwell lights, which I assume is what would be called "courtesy lights", were labeled 158 or 159 (I couldn't tell which) but neither of those are correct either. I used a R5W aka 5007 because that was the lowest wattage bulb i could find with the correct base.
Also, everything I've read says that the cells for the remote are 1616s but they are actually 2016s on mine. Yes, it's the correct remote because I put two 2016s in it and keyless entry started working again.
