What is the correct 1996 850 tail light bulb?

The spec calls for a 67 bulb of 5w. The New Sylvania 67 bulbs in Pep Boys were 8 watts. However, Sylvania's 5007 bulbs were 5 watts and seem to work. (These are called for in an S60.)

Should I stick with one of those two, or find something else entirely?

Thanks!
