Driving Lights - what kind of bulb?

I have the MINI driving lights, two sets actually, and have just had my second bulb burn out. Rather than take it in to the dealer and lose the car for an afternoon getting a bulb replaced, does anyone know what kind it takes and how to install it?

I haven't had a chance to look at it so don't know if it's simple or difficult to replace. Did a quick search and didn't see anything that looked like it was near this topic so figured I'd start a new thread.

Don't know for sure about the Mini lights, but most driving lights I've run into take an H3 halogen bulb. It should be about a 15 minute job replacing it. The front ring of the light comes off (it either snaps in place or has a screw locking it on. The bulb will sit in a holder that's held in place by a spring or screw.

Word of warning here....DO NOT under any circumstances touch the new bulb with your fingers!! Use a rag or gloves to change it. The reason is the oil in your finger print will cause a hotspot and the bulb will prematurely blow out.
