Arrow What Turnsignal Bulb do I need?

ok before you freak out and say "NOOB" or check the Owners Manual or freakin do a search....i have...now listen...haha

The owners manual says use bulb 7440 for the front turn signal. The problem is that the 7440 bulb is clear, I need an amber one. Has anyone got amber orange turn signal bulbs and can tell me the part #??

Ex. the clear corner bulbs in the owners manual are like 168...but the orange ones are # 194 (but they still fit)

So does anyone know the bulb part # for amber orange turn signal bulbs?? (i just went to walmart and they had nothing that would work...)

Thanks!

7440 is the right size, you just need to find one in amber. The stocks are clear because the stock lenses are amber. btw 164/198 are the same

CJ, I just got some of these from the Cardomain store
they are the Pilot Chrome Amber bulbs (also come in white)
http://www.cardomain.com/shoplist~b~...lacement+Bulbs

$4.49 each for the 7440's
$4.49 for a pair of the 194's
+ shipping

I like the chrome look when they're not on...and the amber color is nice and bright when they are on

yeah, no one around here sells them local either, that's how I ended up with mine from the cardomain store

I thought I'd try something different than the 2 sets of yellow OptiBlue's I went through from Autodynamic.com

those bulbs were cheaper, but they started to fade after a few months
