While you could use 3/8", you may have difficulty applying sufficient torque therefore 1/2" is the best choice for all cars and small trucks. If you are dealing with an extremely large truck you might want to use 3/4".

How do you change glow plugs on a Mitsubishi colt 2.8tdi?

well it is very easy. you need a small socket drive 6mm with a 8 mm socket and a 12mm socket. first loosen the 8mm nuts on the steel bridge that connect all of the glow plugs slid the bridge to the right. it is not necessary to lossen the electrical cable going to the bridge. remove the 8mm nuts and then use the 12mm socket and lossen the glow plugs from the head. if the 8mm socket is not long enough then pull the socket from the drive and fit the 8mm socket over the glow plug and then fit the drive to the socket and then you will be able to loosen them. you do not have to remove any of the pipes to the intercooler. the job is about 20mininutes work. when you refit the glowplugs the take a hacksaw and cut about 6mm of the threaded part off and leave just enough thread for the nut and space for the bridge.
