Default N00b question and another about lights.

I drove my car, got out and smelled a slight rubber burning smell. It was coming from my rear left tire (if you are sitting in the drivers seat). That was the only place where the smell was coming from. Any thoughts?

Also, I need to get a new headlight (is it a bulb or do I have to replace the whole thing) a left brake light bulb, a right front fog light, both rear license plate bulbs.

Can anyone give me tips on what bulbs i need and where the best place to get them is? Like, can i just go to an auto store and pick up some bulbs? I'm new to cars so please humor me :-D

check your fuses first then for the tail light you open the hatch and there is a access panel that goes with the tail light. then you will see a white thing that holds all of the tail light bulbs and you just pull that off. if the light bulb is black then its out.

for the fog lights there is one screw that you take off and then you will be able to take off the lamp. pull the black rubber thing back and you will see some wires. disconnect the wires and there is like a pin thing holding the bulb in the lamp. undo that and check if the bulb is out. putting the light back on is a bitch but if you look were the lamp was there is two wires the longer one attachs to a prong on the lamp itself and the other is were you connect the bulb to.
