thanks is it hard to change?

 

Not really, it has it's own plug, you pull it out and it's a weird little bulb with 2 filaments that plug into the connector. Just the bulb part itself is replaced. MAKE SURE that it's in the connector tight or it can fall out in the headlight housing and you'll have to remove the entire headlight to retrieve it. That happened to me when I replaced mine with a LED.

Yeah im looking on ebay...it would be a 168 wedge base bulb right?

 

^Yep. Those are a simple plug and play, and you don't have to worry about touching the glass like you do on headlight bulbs.

Would these fit ok?

Probably, but why black light? Also, be careful with putting LED's in there. Some are more heat sensitive than others and the heat from your low beam bulb may blow them.

because i couldnt decide on red or blue and the UV light makes things glow =]

 

It'll be too dim to make anything glow I think, unless you're lucky and the housing glows, which I doubt.

I've had a LED (SMT type with a front facing lens) in my Accent in that location for about 2 years with no failure problems, but like I said be careful to make sure that they're tight because if it falls off pulling the entire headlight housing and shaking it until the bulb comes out a hole sort of sucks.
