there are bulbs that fit, but they will burn out quickly as the resistance is different. For example, if you go to your friendly auto parts store and get an 1156/1157 (can't remember which fits), it will work but it will burn out and/or you will get intermittent failure b/c of the difference sooner or later. Either that or it will work but end up corroding your bulb housing and you won't know it until it's too late and you have to replace the assembly, which is $$$!
The correct bulb for the stop/brake light is 7528. $30 seems way too high. I think my dealer charged $8 or $9 for the same bulb, which is still a ripoff. I've had fair luck with just ordering them online; its just comes down to how quickly you want it verses saving a few bucks. Cheers.
