Just look for an amber bulb. Buy 2 so they match.

Are you talking about the daytime running lights? If so they are dual filiment amber bulbs. I think I got my replacement bulbs at Autozone.

They are pretty easy to change. You just need to reach in the opening below and feel for the bottom of the socket and twist it.

I think the Autozone part # is 3157AST. Some are more darker orange than amber. I think it depends on the letters after the 3157. If I recall, I think I actually wound up going to the dealer to get replacement bulbs so they had the same factory color because the Autozone ones were too dark.

I believe you want the 3157NA ones. Certain bulbs will fade and I believe it's the NA (Natural Amber) ones that don't.

Yeah there are two 10mm bolts under each side of the front bumper. take those off a small door will fold down and then reach up to were the light is and you will feel the socket. you will have to press the small tab on the side of the socket and turn the socket counter clockwise and it pulls right on out. you can get the amber bulbs from autozone or get LED bulbs online from www.ledvault.com, hope this helps
