Default Clear side markers and signals

So I have some cleared side markers comming soon. Now I need to know where I can find my some bulbs for the Side marker lights. I tried everyplace around me and cant find a bulb that fits the signals! I wanted a silverstar bulb...purply-chrome type finish, but shines orange, only I cant find them.

As for the bumper lights, what bulb should I put in there? I need help on this before I break the orange lights open. I did this on my 98 a long time ago, but I left the regular bulbs in it.

u mean the turn signals or the signal lights on the side of the bumper?

either way, just buy some nice, cheap, useable 7440(for turn signals) or 194(for the bumper lenses) from superlumination

$2.50/each is a hellova lot better than $7/each from a store... i ran the chrome 7740s an 7443s in my RCR tails on my old car.

This is the only picture I have, but I spent about 30-45 minutes last night breaking the orange crap in the lights. I think it looks a little better.



I've seen two different types of bumper lights. What ones should I get...

You have...the JDM ones for the IS

And then the Euro ones for the GS

Get the IS ones, I got the clear euro ones for my GS and they're ugly. Better than the stock orange ones though.
