Off the top of my head the size is 3157 or 3357 I think? Just make sure your socket isn't corroded since that is pretty common in these and it just keeps messing up bulbs.

pay almost 50 bucks prolly more for a new one and cut the old one out and wire the new one in. happened to me on my old car and i was looking for replacements and they were quite expensive. I just cut it out, covered up the hole, then drilled holes in my housing and stuck leds in, sealed em and wired them up.

Be aware that there are differences in color in the aftermarket bulbs that will fit the daytime running/front turn signals. The stock ones that you get from GM are Sylvania.

I bought some off the shelf bulbs from NAPA and they were quite pale. Wasn't happy with them at all and yanked them back out and got Sylvanias.

I just looked in my tool box at the spare bulbs I have. The NAPA bulbs and a Wagner bulb both say 3157, the Sylvania says 4157.
