Default DRL Bulbs?

Are the bulbs difficult to remove? Whats the removal process? Can I pick up some new blue bulbs from an auto parts store? Part Number? Thanks for the help.

I believe the bulb number is 3157. Stock is amber color. They are somewhat of a pain to change. Manual says to jack the car up and remove access panel from the bottom. I got lazy as I didn't want to get my jack out. Pop the hood, crank up the headlight and remove the black plastic headlight surround (3 philips screws). There is enough room between the hood and headlamp to reach your arm down to get at the bulb. Its a standard bulb replacement from there. cheers:

PS - bulb is a standard bulb - a couple of bucks for 2 at Autonzone.
