open your trunk, pull off all the clips on the trunk lid cover with a flat head screwdriver. Pull off the cover and the bulbs should be right there in the housings.

Yes the oem bulbs are white. Don't use red or amber so people still know you are backing out.

The 921 is a larger bulb but has the same base as a 168/194. They will work interchangeably but I would assume since it the 921 is larger, it may have a higher wattage and therefore more light.
