Default After clearing corners, what bulbs to replace blinker bulbs?

I just cleared my corners of my headlights, but the amber bulb still reflects enough to make it look orange still.

What replacement bulbs do you guys recommend so I wont have the orange reflection?

Also, do you have to take the bumper off to replace them? I was trying to get at them after my bumber was back on, and it was kind of tricky.

Thanks

You don't have to take the bumper off. Just kinda reach around just under the core support.

I have chrome bulbs from autolumination. They're inexpensive and perfect.

They're about 3/4 down the page. 2.99 each. 1157 silver chrome.

Here's a pic of them in my stock housings.

That's what I have. Keeps it OEM when they're on and flashing, but otherwise, you barely see em.

Sylvania Silverstars look good too, but I think they cost a little more, around $20/pair I believe.

I dislike the silverstars. If the point is to make the bulb invisible, the silverstars add about 13 different colors to the bulb. I had a set and they didn't even flash all amber, there was a distinctive green color as well.

I have the silverstars on mine and the bluish/greenish tint looks cool IMHO.

I also have a set of white LED ones that i use once in a while.
