you can replace it with a blue bulb but once you turn on the headlights it'll over power it and you won't see the blue anymore...

It is the only light on in the front of the car when you have your parking lights on.

What type of lights are those? Those are the parking lights right? Can you change your headlights with the same kind of brand and look the same? Because i might do that it looks TIGHT!

one reccomendation on the replacement of those lights, avoid getting the ones from pep boys, auto-zone etc. they are coated bulbs and fade very quickly, yes they are cheap but in the end you pay more replacing them over time. get the led style, it has the wedge bulb base but the top where the light is are anywhere between 2 and 6 micro sized led's. they light up brighter, more color choices and last a whole lot longer. they usually run between 8 and 15 bucks. I got mine at a stereo shop that sold other stuff too, just look around for a while and you'll find a few different brands.

oh yeah and as for changing that bulb, start squeezin'. its a pain but can be done by hand, you kinda have to push in when you twist it, also look into the headlight to make sure you twist the right direction
