Default what bulbs to use?(tail lights)

I have a question:

For all the people with GS's and that have either the JP, Wise, Carson tuned e.t. tail lights with the clear bottom. What bulbs does everyone use for the blinkers? The stock bulbs are clear so probably not a good idea for the blinkers?

thanks in advance!

Lettuce, these are the bulbs I have in my front turn signals that have been cleared and in my JP tails? They look clean and clear in the daytime, but light up amber when lit. You can find them here:

The 7440 bulbs(half way down the page in yellow), are the ones you need for the tails and possible for the front turn signals as well.
I hope this helps you out!

I have 1156 Sylvania Silverstars in my LED tails. I don't like the silver coated bulbs because they have poor output.

They may but I found mine at local tuner shops and on E-bay! I'm happy with the light output and that they are stealthy looking during daytime hours.
