Is this the right bulb for rear turnsignal?

Im going to order the bulbs tomorrow and just want to make sure this is the right bulb for the rear turn signals. I need to get amber so i just want to make sure this is right. Do these bulbs last long?
Here is the link to the bulb. are these 12v?

If its flat end, then its the right one, but why don't you get red? it will look better with the tail lights, or super white. I have white at front but can't use white for back since i am still using the taillights. I might change the front signal lights to red also to match the back. I was using blue before changing to super white but it was too dim even in the dark. My friend uses red rear signal light for his BMW and its looks great.

YES, that is the right bulb. And if you look closely at the picture, top left hand corner, it says 12V 21W for 12 Volt and 21 Watts.

Did you see this post that Scooter and I had going a while ago?? It answers most of your lighting question and has GOOD links too!! Check it out ===> CLICK HERE <===

Good luck and enjoy!!

Here is one that might work. PIAA ION Crystal. It is a 168 size wedge bulb and is a 12V 5W bulb. Here is the link to what they look like. ===> CLICK HERE <===
I think Polarg makes one as well. I don't know what they will look like in the driving lamps. 5 watts isn't a lot. I think it is what you are looking for though!!

Actually, Scooter and I are the lighting 's!!!!!!!

it's too bad they only make 1 kind of yellow/gold light...it's not like they have enough blue-tinted bulbs on their product list

i'd love to see a more Amber looking light or at least a more powerful yellow...that color looks like a more faded yellow, u know??
