bulb number
Does anyone know the number for the front turn siginal bulb. The Chevrolet dealer can't find it and the local parts store gave me one that is to white. I don't want to change this thing out many more times as it is not fun.
Thanks

you're looking for an amber colored 3157.
I've found the easiest way to get to them is to go through the headlight surround. remove it and have the hood up and you can reach you hand down there and get to the bulb. otherwise you have to go through the access panel under the car, which is not as much fun.
if you switch over to LEDs you'll never have to change the bulb again!

For changing them out, try this.
Headlights on, to raise them up, then switch to parking lights, headlights stay up. Remove that little bumper with the rubber top (meaure height first) and you can reach down past the headlamp assembly to access the bulb holder with no muss, no fuss, little effort
