It takes a standard size 15-watt single post bulb.
The normal # is 1156 but 32cp is the same thing (I think)
Side note: I don't think that is a correct center brake light assembly, it looks like a Beetle reverse light housing.
It should work the same though.

At the very least it's got the wrong rubber seal for sure.

It'll work well for a brake light. Not so well for a license light. You'll have to rig something up if it isn't already done.
