Default blinker bulbs

its the blinker/running lights i suppose, but the guy that had the car before me replaced one of the bulbs with a different color bulb, jst noticed im runing around with one white and one amber bulb....so im fairly sure white is the wrong bulb, i didnt get under the car to poke around (been trying to get my pos pass window to work) but with the hood up i dont see a way to get in there, is there a plastic panel or somethin you go in through the bottom with? and how many of you jack up your car with pucks? ive yet to jack my car up due to reading you need the pucks, i figure a block of wood on a jack might do alright as long as i watch what im jacking on, any way

info apreciated

I just replaced my left front turn signal bulb. Went to Advanced Auto Parts, looked up the stock number on the computer and bought a pack.
To change it out, you need to go through the bottom. I put the front up on Rhino ramps (grey ones). Works so much quicker than jacking it up.
There is a panel in front of the wheel that is held on with 3 or 4 bolts, I think 7 mm, but can't recall. Undo the bolts, the lower ones are enough, and push it out of the way. You'll see when you get under it. Pretty straight forward. Then you just breach up through the opening and turn the socket to unlcok it from the housing. Pull the bulb straight out and insert the new one. Took all of about 10 minutes, including getting her up on the ramps.
