Answered my own question....they are W5W bulbs and easily changed as the manual calls them "Parking and Standing Lamps". Ordered a pair of PIAA 19172 Xtreme White bulbs off eBay...17.50 out the door. I'll let you know how they look.

Do you have any pointers for actually changing the bulb? I looked in the manual, but I am having difficulty reaching the bulb to actually change it. I bought LEDs to get rid of the amber look as well.

Im expecting it to be a full headlight housing removal but im waiting until I have the bulbs inhand to even start digging in. The HID kit was hard enough with large hands....As soon as I get into it, I will post.

haha yeah...the HID kit wasn't too bad.
I actually managed to install the LEDs I got last night for the parking light. I googled for a while, but only came across one thread. In the end, I used a combination of needle nose pliers and a stubbier pair of pliers (dont know name). All in all, the process took about 20 minutes or so and it looks great.
