Can I use the same tailight bulb (behind red circular panel) to replace the front light bulb behind the orange panel?

Thanks.

That depends. There are two bulbs behind each of those lenses.
The front turn signal light is a 21W.
The front Parking Light is a 5W.
The rear brake light is a 21W.
The rear taillight is a 5W.

Thanks Xviper. I had replaced a rear tailight buld out of package of 2 bulbs. Since the front turn signal light still works, my broken bulb must be the parking light. Therefore, I can use the same bulb. How's that for some good logic?!

Now...if someone could please tell me how to access the front bulbs. I don't see the easily removable bulb sockets like in the back. How do I get to the front bulbs?

You could be in for a world of hurt.
Try the following:
1. If on driver's side, lift up the coolant reservoir and just set it close by. Now reach in and feel for the wire harness/socket. It'll the be farthest to the outside of the car. The other side, you can try something similar. You'll most likely have to work blind.
2. If (1) doesn't work, you'll need to undo as many of the wheel well splash shield as needed so you can reach from there.
3. If the first 2 didn't work, you'll need to take off the front bumper, undo the whole headlight assembly.
I hope you stop at (1).
