4157 NALL (amber long life)To change the bulb turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights. Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.
10 minute job.

is that a dealer part number or an auto store.
how much do they cost
The nose of my car will be off to repaint some damage, and thought Id replace the bulbs then while it was easy. The bulbs are 5 years old, but I figure with the nose off, it wont get much easier than that time to replace the bulbs.
