parking light LEDs: www.v-leds.com
fog light leds: www.ijdmtoy.com
they match pretty good...I did the same with my clear corner markers and then put 6000K HIDs so now all lights match

To replace the bulbs, you can actually do it through the inside of the wheel well. Just take off the plastic shielding (held on by a few plastic clips), reach in and unhook the bulbs.
There is a D.I.Y. on it around here somewhere, I'm sure the search function can find it.

^for the HID's im guessing they say for the dealer to change them so someone doesn't get shocked with 25,000 volts, guess they do not want lawsuits.
I have not had to change mine so I cant give you any input on difficulty.
EDIT: just found this online
Quote: "A blast from a crushed 100 bar hot HID bulb will send glass pieces into your skin and eyes and potentially fill wounds with mercury, which is very poisiness. Room will be filled with toxic fumes. Very high startup voltages can give you electric shock if closer than 1.5 inches or 4 cm. A headlight assembly will protect you from all this included UV rays. "
