fog light went out...please help

my passenger side fog light went out on my 98 SE. I just wanted to know what kind of bulb is recommended to replace it. Preferably something cheaper or if not hte same stock ones. And if anyone could give me good instructions how to replace hte bulb...i'm technically challenged haha.

thanks

It's an H3 bulb and I think the how-to's tell you how to do it.

It's an H3 bulb. If you're using all factory bulbs, just go get a plain old Sylvania halogen bulb, which should be under $10. Replacing it is simple - the black plastic piece pops right off after undoing the fake screw. Take out the two bolts (10mm, I believe) and pull out the whole fog light. Unscrew the plastic plug on the back, and undo the little metal hook type thingy. Then just pop the bulb's wires out of the rubber connection guard. When installing, just repeat the process. Just take note that on one side of the bulb's base is a square notch, and a circular one on the other side. You need to line those up to make it fit right. And don't touch the bulb!!!
