Anybody Have Yellow Parking (Clearance) Lights?

I want to get Narva Rally Gold H3s for my fogs, and I want the parking lights (lights next to the headlights) to match the yellow fogs as closely as possible. Here's a yellow 1157 bulb I found. I'm just wondering if anyone has yellow bulbs in their parking lights. If so, what brand are they, how do they look, do they match yellow fogs, and have you had police issues with the yellow? Thanks in advance for any help.

BTW, the pictures below of 1FSTMAX's car inspired this, but I asked him and he said his are just normal ambers, despite the definite yellow look. Must be just his camera. Hope you don't mind my posting these here, 1FSTMAX.

OK, I always assumed amber = orange, but I guess I'm wrong?

The bulbs that come with clear corners look very orange/amber to me; I don't want that for the clearance lights. I want a true, rich yellow.

Thanks. I think I'll pick up a pair at that price. Hope the bulbs don't burn out immediately...

Mrnock, very nice, that's the look I want. What brand are those?

George, you have an awesome car, no need for further comment.

I think yellow (functional!) fogs, blueish-white HIDs, yellow clearance lights, and clear corners = perfection on the Maxima front end.

From what I know Cali has a law.

Anything forward has to be white.
Anything on the sides has to be orange.
Anything backwards must be red (except turn signals and reverse lights)
