21/5 Brake Light Bulb

Am I going crazy, or is realoem showing a 21W bulb for the brake lights these days....
I know it's supposed to be a 21/5 bulb for the brake light, but I don't even see it listed these days

Let this serve as a informative thread to all.
It is a Osram 7528 Bulb. I went to the local parts joint and picked up a 7528LL (long life bulb). Whether or not, it's more durable than than the non LL bulb, hopefully this is the last time I will need to change it.

I have a semi intricate custom stereo install, so just changing the bulbs in any of the tails is in mini-project in itself:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:
