Default What does the replacement bulb for the DRL look like?

Is it amber and big or is it a small white bulb? I went to Discount Auto last night and got part number 3157N and after looking at my burnt out DRL bulb it isnt the same size as the one I bought from Discount Auto. What gives? :confused: :confused:

Thanks for replying back Gary. The reason I ask this is because the amber ones I bought at a parts place looks kinda big for the burnt out bulbs that are in there now.

3157N and 3157NA are the same except for the A which means Amber.
A clear bulb should do fine if the lens is amber but if it has an amber bulb in it use another amber bulb, that is if you can get it out before you buy the bulb.
If the lens is clear you had best get an amber bulb, the law states that those ligths have to be amber, no matter what the dude selling the blue bulbs tells you.
