Changing Yellow bulb in Headlights

I want to change the yellow light bulb and replace it with maybe a blue or white bulb instead. How hard is it to replace his bulb? Do I have to open up the headlight? And where would I find a replacement bulb at? Do you guys think a local kragen or pep boys would have this bulb.

Also if anyone has pics of their headlights with different colored bulbs, that would be great

thanks

your parking lights?

if so then you just take out your head-light then you'll see the wire going to that light, twist, turn and pull out
RIEBES, KRAGENS anyone of those will have them

uhh if you have an 02 i dont think changing the bulb would change the color because you still have that yellow cover that goes over the light.... right?

hes probably talking about the turnsignal bulb.
you need to open your headlight by either baking it or using a heat gun. once you take it apart, you can remove the orange bulb cover in the headlight housing.
then you can replace the stock bulb (1156) with another one you got.
i doubt the normal auto shops will have different styles of bulbs and colors, they usually only have stock replacement ones... at least the ones around my area.
if youre talking about the parking light or the lowbeam/highbeam, you dont have to open the headlight, just plug and play on the back of the headlight.
