i have the bulbs out already, and i wasnt sure i could goto pepboys and pick them up, since they dont look like regular bulbs

Yeah, they are those peanut bulbs (151's or something) with the special bases. I wasn't sure if I could get them at just any parts store when I replaced several of mine, so I went to the dealership. It wasn't too expensive either. There were also a couple in Dad's tool box from some old Fords and they were identical.

Hey Jeremy, I work at walmart and we carry the bulbs but not the bases, so you gotta soder them in.

Are the they same type that are in my d.i.c? I was able to pull them out but it was a pain in the ass. I broke one bulb but I did get them out.

not sure if they are the same or not, i tried pulling on the bulb pretty hard, but i didnt want to break it..

What I did was grab the base with pliers and put my shirt over the bulb, then just pulled really hard.
