pep boys sucks for parts (the one in MI barely lasted a year before closing) but they should have them in stock like they said it's a 9005 a very common bulb (wal mart should even have it)

that would be a collision part so normal stores won't deal with them usually

I didn't notice the year of your car I was thinking it was a newer one, you wanted a capsule not housing (housing is what holds the bulb, capsule is a conversion part to the new style bulbs)

on your car the housing is the black plastic since yours is supposed to be sealed beam.
