tail light confusion

ok i got some of those 15 led bulb for the 7440 and 7443, luckly i only got a set because they arent that bright. they give a pinkish look. now i'm wondering are there any other blubs that will a effect the leds have when they blink, i hope you guys know what i'm talking about.. i was thinking about these.

the description says something about being "xenon" are these ok for on/off applications?

PM Gearbox, I've talked to him about LED's numerous times, and he has told me they aren't really bright enough for turn signal applications. Go with some colored Polargs or something, that's what I finally decided.

these look pretty bright and i'm going to be using them in my tail lights so i shouldnt have to worry about the blue tint. for about 10$, is it worth a try?

where do you get the polarg? how do they blink?

i've already spent 20 on them damn leds.

EDIT: i remembering who but one of the guys on this forum was selling some type of blubs with the same kind of packaging design like in the one in the link i posted. maybe that person can tell how they work
