Default Clear corner bulbs?

I have searched a lot but this seems to be way more confusing than it should be - i'm not too quick i guess.

I have clear corners. I have replaced my main headlights with HID's and have just got LED's for the parking lights beside the fogs and will get yellow halogens or silverstars for the fogs.

What are the best bulbs for the clear corners to match the HID/LED colours and where do I get them?

Many thanks

I've been using these over the years:

You have to scroll down the extremely long page to find them. Look for "1156 or 1157 Silver Chrome Bulbs" about 2/3rds down the page.

They are silver but light amber
and the price is right... $2.99

^That's a good bulb, so you don't get the "egg yolk" effect with the clear corners.

I see them on the site for $29.99 - is that what you meant? Thanks,

I bought these from Amazon a while back IIRC after I switched to clear corners. Nice bulbs.

Doug, nice looking turbo!

yes, that is the source I have been using. 1157 bulb.
Pricing is the best I've seen.

I'm guessing this is what MarkD is talking about from http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm

I'm assuming we need the 1157 dual circuit. I need to pick some of these up.

Great guys - thanks for the link. My car was in a bit of a bumper crumpler a few weeks ago and as part of my repair I am removing my bumperettes and switching over to clear corners (see, there is a silver lining!) This thread it perfect timing for me.

Much appreciated!

OK but do these bulbs match the colour of the HID's? I am not concerned about an amber colour because the bulb in there now is clear and it flashes white. I am more looking to have a bright white. i.e. I replaced the marker lights with LED's that are very bright and the fogs with silverstars (not as bright but better than before) but trying to get rid of the "yellow" in the side/turn signal flashers

Thanks
