7440 is a common turn signal bulb size... they'd have it at your local auto parts store.

yea i was gonna say.
take the bulb out.
go to an auto parts store.
find the same numbered bulb.
compare them just to double check theyre the same.

if you need help just ask someone at the store...thats why they work there.

or ill sell u mine, barely even used, had them on my last tc and decided i didnt want them on my new one.

only issue youll have is hyperblink which is quickly solved by soldering in a resistor.

these are "Chrome" when off and light up Hyper white...iono if thats the look youre going for since you said clear bulbs...you wont be able to notice the bulb much.
