Honestly, I got mine from AutoZone for 10 bucks and they look amazing....Theyre royal blue 194B base LED bulbs that come 2 in a pack, they also work in the daytime runners for a great look on the front end as well

I bought two led bulbs from them to replace the overhead bulb and one was DOA. They kindly sent me another within a few days.

I think the bulbs you're talking about in the front are the wedge bulbs that are positioned next to the high beam bulb. The high beam bulbs acts as your DRL.
