The bulb according to the owner's manual is 1157A... Haven't found a specialty tool for removing the slotted nut holding the lens in place. Option 1: use an old screwdriver or equivalent grounded to fit; Option 2: Grind an old socket of the correct outside diameter leaving two matching tabs to engage the nut. I found a spare 12mm socket that's almost perfect. Note: All sockets are not the same thickness so be sure to measure carefully if you try this option. The one I modified was 16.63mm or .6545 inches outer diameter. Good luck!
