Amber Sidemarker Bulbs: do they exist?
I'm putting clear side marker lenses on, but still want the amber colored light at night. The clear bulb number is 5007. Kragen didn't have anything in that size in any color other than clear/white. So far I've found LED replacements, but the color isn't going to match the blinkers - and that's just going to look tacky.
Ideas?
(clear bulb specs: OSRAM 5007 ITALY 12V R5W 37R, bayonet single contact)

I swear they're still available at AutoZone and Pep Boys and stuff. . . I'll look next time I'm in there. I've got a big box of bulbs in the garage too (spares from various cars over the years, etc). If I can find two that are the type 5007, they're yours for free when I get over there.
Which clear sidemarkers you get?

I got them from http://turnclear.com.
I've got clear 5007 bulbs, but didn't see amber colored 5007's at the store. I only checked one store, but they said they hadn't seen them before. I guess I should check out some other stores (autozone, napa, pep boys).
Oh, btw - still want those parts Jeff? I think I'm just going to chuck them if you don't want them - I could use the space. Lemme know.

...autozone was closed, and that's a negative on Pep Boys; they didn't have them either. One of my side markers had a different bulb in it - 1157. But that wasn't avail. in amber either. grr...
I picked up a pair of 1156A's in amber to see if they fit (they're the bigger bulb shape, but still bayonet single contact). Here goes...
edit: nope, the bigger style bulb is, well, too big. Upon further research, it looks like 97A or 1895A may work, if I can just find a place that carries them. http://1000bulbs.com has them both, but http://resellerratings.com has only 3 reviews of them, and two are horrible. So that's a no go.
