Standard AutoZone bulb. I forget which one ...853, maybe? It's a beeatch to get to though. Headlights open, then reach down and twist about 1/4 turn counterclockwise, remove - get new and replace. Same for other side. (if both are out)

I couldn't get to it with the headlights open. My forearm is either too big or I was doing something wrong. So I went through the "back door". There is a plastic panel in front of the front tire that has about 6 or 7 bolts holding it in. I removed the panel and the foglight was right there. The second one was easy, I replaced it while the bumper was off at the body shop because some no driving dumba$$ hit my parked car

Aftermarket-wise, those PIAA's seem to be the way to go. Not sure about the bulb replacement number though. I'll be doing PIAA's soon!!!

I think theres a upgrade bulb available .. 85W or so. I always tell people to be careful of higher watt bulbs, 'cause the wires and housing of OEM parts may not withstand the temp. / watt increase. Just my .02 I remember WalMart had the higher watt bulbs checp. Soory. DOn't know the part #.

Get the PIAAs. you will not regret it. I hooked up mine yesterday, and they are unbelievable. Seem just as bright as the low beams. and they have a nice bright white/bluish color to them.
