Bulbs for side markers
I just put clear sides on my car this weekend and wanted to know if these bulbs would work or maybe you guys could recommend something better.

Got a 2003 and to be legal I understand gotta get amber bulbs for front and red bulbs for back. I have found the silver looking amber blinking bulbs for the front but I can't find any red blinking blubs for the back. Anybody know of any place I can get those? Any online places?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Hey GreekMax,
Apparently, the inverted lense bulbs are the best for corners cuz they invert the light back into the housing and make the light come out "fuller" if that makes sense. I just ordered mine and will let y'all know how they are, and maybe even post pics if I can find somewhere to host em... but talk to PHX BLUE as well, I think he's the one who gave me the link.... I know someone on here did... haha....

In have those inverted leds i just installed them over the weekend in fact and they are GREAT!!! at night it looks as if I have amber and red marker lights. I will never again buy another regular bulb for my sidemarkers.
Plus if installed correctly the bulbs last like 100,000 hours!! So they eventually pay for themselves.

They are 2.49 each, all four shipped cost me like 11.95 or something but trust me they pay for themselves in longevity and appearance.
BTW I bought them from www.superlumination.com

For those wondering how the inverted lense 194 bulbs look in clear corners... I was pleasantly surprised at the brightness and how much they filled up the housing...
Sorry about the bad pic quality... didn't have time to figure out the right mode on the camera, but I'll spruce em up some time later...

Eh. I have the inverted lense LEDs from superbrightleds.com. They are single LEDs and I'm not crazy about them. At night, they do show up red and amber as expected, but they are not terribly bright. And during the day, when the lights come on, they are so dim that you almost cannot tell they're on, and the rear "red" markers look pink.
I've seen pics of the 9-LED bulbs in there and I didn't think they'd fit, but they look much brighter, so I might have to try those. Either way, these bulbs are all nice'n'cheap, so you can afford to experiment a little.
These are the exact bulbs that I have:
This is what they look like in the day:
(The rear is at night with a flash, but you get the idea.)
This is what they look like at night:
EDIT: I just looked at Puppetmaster's pics, and his leds seem a bit brighter. Maybe autolumination makes brighter leds than superbrightleds?
