Need help with what bulb to buy

What do you call the amber lights in the front headlights on the side? And what kind of bulb does it take? I'm talking about when you turn your key to the first position and only the 2 amber light comes on? It isn't DRL right? Any who it went out and I tried searching.

I know of low beam, high beam, turn signals, side markers, and fog lamp. What's the one I'm talking about?

Yep those would be the parking lamps and the bulb is a 2825. Best way to reach it without taking the bumper out is to take the fender liner most of the way out. Good luck.

I've done this in a parking lot before.

Turn your front wheel opposite the direction of the side you are working on. Remove a couple screws holding the fender liner in. pull the fender liner down enough you can get your arm in, the bulb is on an extension that goes into the lamp itself. grab the back of the extension, twist and it will all come out.

It is so common for that particular bulb to burn out, not sure why. I've replaced it 2-3 times already. I hear the same experience with others too.

If you replace it, make sure it's a good quality bulb. I don't know if it will really extend the life of the bulb but it's rather annoying changing that one out.
