194 Wedge bulb question

For those of you who have the clear sidemarkers and wanted to stay legal, what type of amber and red bulbs do you use? I know some of the red bulbs give off a pinkish color with the clear lenses and needless to say, I'm trying to avoid that. So I just wanted to get an idea of what you guys were going with and what you think looks best. Thanks again.

Would the 6 led look good on front smoked side makers? What bulb or led is recommended?

you can't have clear sidemarkers *and* be legal

it has to reflect amber, not light up amber

I bought a cheapo red bulb from Autozone which turned out to be better than the Polarg M7 i have in there now.

Thanks. I like the first pic on the right, but it looks like your tailights are pinkish in comparison.
