I believe it's a 33 or 3457. I replaced mine with the Silverstar 3157's Hope this helps.

Derek,

What color light is produced by the Silverstar #3157 lamp?

If it is not amber is it still legal in all states?

Thanks

The DRL bulb GM part number is 12450182.

The bulb has a special high-tempature base to withstand the DRL heat. "Standard" bulbs will burn out quickly.

Good luck.
