Default Clear Turn Signals?

Hey just wondering i have found a bunch of clear signals on ebay but where can i get an amber bulb? Because isnt stock a clear bulb with just a amber glass in front of it? I personally dont like the look contrary to many people but i have to as my car is a first responder vehicle and i need strobes in my lights and i cant do it in my headlights because of the design. So i need the turn signals to be clear. Thanks everyone, Rob

No, but they have to be the same part number.

97+ xjs (maybe earlier) need a 3157A bulb
Older need 1157A

you can buy a t10 led amber bulb , they sell it on ebay really cheap prices , ill leave you a link of the ones that i got but there are several models depending on the ones you like

this are the ones i got now..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-SMD-4-LE...item2eb3bf1b57

this are the ones i just got

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1x-5-LED-505...ht_2579wt_1396

the first was the way they looked with sqared angel eyes , and the second is with round angel eyes of the projectors i build, i also used leds on every bulb socket of my ride ..
here is a pic of my clear corner light i added a led strip on it to simulate the new escalade looks..

Sick! and thanks for providing a link but would those work for a 98? The guy a few posts above said it needs to be specific but would these work? It matches what he said but the stupid ebay parts thing says it wont fit...Im sure it will but in this economy 10$ is alot for some turn signals and just want to make sure its worth it.

Hey Preppye, how much would it be to have you make a set of corner lights like the ones you have on your jeep? They look awesome!

this mood is not difficult to make at all , corner lights are assembled with silicon , you just need to insert a sharp knife all around to take them apart , glue the led strip and then put it back with some silicon again and that's it , below are the links on ebay to buy the strips , you can also get corner lights there , i have bought everything for my jeep on ebay really cheap..

this are the ones i got
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10X12cm-Car-...ht_1529wt_1163
this are the ones i recommend
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Amber-15-LED...ht_1869wt_1163

you just search amber led strip and there you can find all kind of strips that you can put inside your corner light , i really reccomend using smd because the strip is thinner but its up to you...
