my side markers came with amber bulbs so can't help you there. the clear turn signal bulbs I bought from a local carparts store. take one with you when you buy them and compare but they should be amber and park/turn bulbs marked on the package. just get the same wattage as your old ones. :roll:

Appreciate it. How exactley do you get the bulb out of the plastic piece? Does it unscrew?

if you order the clear turn signals WITH the housing, you don't need amber bulbs. there is a "sheath" that surrounds your white bulbs which makes the light emitted amber.

I ordered them from corksport. The only thing I got was the housing and the lense. No bulb or sheath.

Get LED lights. You can get them on eBay. Just write LED amber 194 for the search. These bulbs are clear when off which keeps your lenses clear. You can also get them for your turning signals. :p

Too late. I got my turn signal ambers from the dealer and the side marker ones from Autozone. Just ordered the clear side lenses from CS today. They say it's easy to damage the housing when changing the lense but it looks simple....anything I need to know?
