Although I'm having trouble getting through at the moment (probably temporary or on my end, not the only site), you can usually download or open in your browser then save, a copy of your Owner's Manual (in PDF form) from this site;

You do have to have a Yahoo! account, (which I assume shouldn't be a problem LOL), and you need to register. The bulb replacement section starts on page 5-47. Better than me pasting the text, because it includes pictures too, which are not linkable.



Your bulb type (as listed on page 5-53) is 9007 LL, but any bulb with the 9007 prefix will fit. Autozone for example, lists 5 distinctly different bulbs that will all fit your car, at various prices (from $11 for standard to $35, each, or cheaper in pairs). Best thing to do would be to get the same type as your good one on the other side, or better yet, get a matched pair of whatever type you prefer.



If you're not familiar with Halogen capsule bulbs, I should warn you that the glass part should not be touched with the bare hand, as the oil from your fingers can make them crack/shatter when they are turned on, from the heat.



Also, read the warnings on the package and in the Owner's Manual about handling them. They have pressurized gas inside and can burst if handled improperly, so some safety glasses are a good idea.
