Default Amber bulbs for clear corners?

Hi All:

Among many other goodies, I just ordered clear corners for my '92 C2. However, I can't seem to find amber bulbs anywhere. I would prefer to find the ones that only flash amber when lit but are otherwise clear or silver. Can anyone help me out with a website and part number or other details?

Thanks!

Pete

I got turn signals from one and parking lights from the other

The bulbs look chrome until lit up.

Amazon has this
1156 1156
replacement. There are also several LED 12V bulbs that look silver but burn amber. Not sure of compatibility.

Seems might need
load resistors load resistors
to compensate for low LED resistance.

Thanks gents! I *think* I have found the right bulbs on Pelican; they'll be here in three days so I'll know then!

Thanks again,

Pete

When I switched to clears many, many years ago, I just took the amber bulb and painted the top of the bulb silver.

It's invisible when off and the amber light bounces off of the reflector housing.

Lookin good, guys. I'll see if I got the right ones when they come in from Pelican. If not, I'll do the silver paint technique as described above - good tip! Thanks!

Buy LEDs from Bergvill FX and never look back! Take my word!
