What bulbs after cleared lenses?

I don't like the look of cleared lenses w/amber bulbs...what bulbs do you all recommend that look clear and flash amber?

Get amber led bulbs. The chrome covered ones look terrible at night and are very dim (even worse than led brightness).

this is what i use , and it is illegal here...
I also have cleared corners and don't like the amber bulb just like sasquatch.
Gear is saying the chrome lights are very dim and suck.
Led lights have different wattage and burn out fast, and the signal is not timed with the rear
The stock bulb is dim and is not amber like some say, it is pure white, and illegal...
looks like i am going back to stock headlights!

In cali at least, turn signal can be between amber (like with clear bulbs) to orange, and also white. Get the leds man. They're really nice.

I am back to stock...sorry ya'll.....I have been a cop, and am returning to law enforcement....I can't be driving around illegal and I really didn't like cleared lights that much anyway, I kinda like the amber at dusk rollin around with just my parking lights on at dusk........
