What are these lights on my '08 AC?

For the life of me, I can't find these online. My amber light died on my left headlight, but I don't know what I'm searching for. They don't look right. Some call them reflectors, others say they're some other thing. I referenced the manual and still could only find "headlight assembly". Here's a picture for reference:

Thanks in advance!

They're called park lights, they come on with the first setting on the stalk.

Having trouble finding the correct park light bulb online now. Only aftermarket bulbs, no OEM. I'd consider removing them if it were the 2010 with the redesigned fascia but I don't think it'd look right to remove them on the '08.

they are 194 bulbs, and you do not have to remove the assemblies to change them...just pop the hood and and twist the bulb connector to the left and the little tiny bulb will pull out with the pigtail. and yes they are marker/parking lights

Are the bulbs white and the orange surrounding just making it appear as if the bulb is orange? The only thing that comes up on a search is a white LED for "194 bulb".
Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/301242747159 or this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/281328054060 ?

Yes...as far as front markers and front turns go, in reference to stock configurations, amber bulbs are under clear lenses, clear bulbs under amber lenses...this will keep you legal...any bulb color with produce light...you can go white led, just make sure you don't get a poor quality one that's going to blow every month or so...best bet, go to a parts store and get a 194 bulb...a 168 will work also...to answer your question the stock bulb is a 194 clear

Just go to a local parts store and get a 194 clear bulb. White led will work, just make sure it's a decent quality so you don't have to order a new one every month or two if that's the route you want to go...but the stock replacement is a 194 clear bulb
