Turn Signal Bulb Question

I went to the local shop the other day to replace my amber turn signal bulbs (for my Sonar Projectors) with either a blue or red bulb. They had a variety of sizes there, but none that matched what i needed. They called the manufacturer of the lights, which told them a blue turn signal bulb was not in production for any projector headlights for the 7thgencivic. Is this true? If not, what bulb fits and where can i get it?

Keep the orange bulb But you need to find out what bulb size it is first.

I think the orange/amber is ugly imo. If anything i wanna get a white light. I have the bulb size but not off the top of my head.

The site used too have a bulb chart...

dont know where it went...

But, since you know the bulb number, search online...

I thought the sonar projectors would use the regular stock turn signal? (dont know the number off the top of my head) but, I do know that if it is the STOCK turn signal #, they do make blue/red bulbs, ive seen them in person before.

The picture of the bulb of the 194 in the chart in that link doesnt look like the one in my sonar projectors.

After taking a look at them i noticed there are two separate bulbs for the turn signal. One is large and round, the other long and skinny. The larger one is located on the third ring to the right, which is what im looking to replace, and the other is in the far corner of each lamp. I cant find definite bulb sizes for these projector bulbs anywhere, please help

Ok i made a crappy illustration bc im still confused. Is the 194 bulb the one in the green circle or in the blue circle?

Also on another note, did u have trouble replacing the bulbs? Because they seem hard as hell to get to.
