Best bulb for clear corners - and where?
Title says it all. I've got a set of clear corners on their way to me, now I need bulbs. What's the consensus on which are best (color, long life, etc...) Also, where did folks get their bulbs and how much should I expect to pay?

The Best
I just got mine from www.superbrightleds.com. At night they look impressive to say the least. Very Bright both Red and Amber.

I Got
I got the Red and Amber ones because I like the look of the clear lenses during the day and having the red and amber at night. They also have the bright white LED's which would be brighter then any other bulb you can get at an auto parts store. It took about 5 days to get the bulbs with standard shipping.

I only got front clear corners since I like the look of red in the back...
i bought PIAA Super Plasma's from ebay and sicne I used a money order it took roughly 2 weeks from the day I won the auction.
Then I put in orange bulbs...and for the last month I have been back to using super plasmas.
I keep the stock orange corners in my trunk just in case. I would just tell the cop I didn't know...i saw many other cars having them so I looked it up too.

that's why I have yet another backup plan: ask the cop if i can change it out when he pulls me over (since i keep the stock ones in the trunk)
isn't this a fix-it ticket though? like if you get a ticket...you just make a court date and take pics of the stock ones back on?

Okay, I guess I need to be a little more specific. I'm looking for bulbs (not leds b/c of viewing angle concerns) that appear clear in daylight, but when they are on are the correct color to keep me out of trouble. I thought there were bulbs that did this (Polarg?).

LED's
Well I have tried many other lights from Auto Parts Stores and nothing lights up at night like the LED's. There is no angle problem whatsoever with the ones from http://www.superbrightleds.com/
