Default Small lights that run when the headlights are on...

I just realized that one of these tiny little lights on my car are not working. Apparently these lights only turn on when the headlights are on. Does anybody know the type of light this is and what is required to replace it. Thanks!!

Walmart bulb. Believe its a 168, a wedge bulb. Replacing it is the fun part.

so do these lights have an actual name, are they "parking lights"? Can you shed anything more about the fun part.
