Clear headlights and Corner bulbs
What's up guys, almost done with my new project car and have some questions for the finishin touches.
For those of you with cleared headlights, which make of "chrome/amber" corner bulbs, give you the best light output? By chrome I mean those bulbs that are coated chrome, but blink or have amber light output.

2. 1156 By Pilot
3. 1156 By Polarg
4. 1156 Other?
Thanks guys!

1157 for Turn Signal Bulbs... I have the Silvania Silverstars and love them. I have had Silverstars in my last three cars and have never had an issue. They have more of a blueish/chrome tint but have excellent light output. One of the best out there. They will run you about $20 for a set.

interesting pdf...page 22 talks about clear corners and says this:
so i'm taking this as you can have clear corners, they just have to emit an amber or red light....i was planning on clearing my turn signals this weekend and was curious as to whether anyone on here has gotten in trouble with any type of law enforcement for having clear corners...
Clear “tail” - missing red side and red rear reflectors. The plastic does not need to be the color of the emitted light, but a tail and stop must emit red light, and a turn, red or amber.

woooo!!
I want to say that pretty much all chrome-amber bulbs would have a less light output compared to regular amber bulbs. I picked up my generic pair from autolumination and they've work just fine for the past year or so. If you dig the silvery-pearl/rainbow look of the silverstars, they are a great alternative as well.
99-01's dont have that small bottom bulb 
yo el pana, better post some pics once everything's said and done.
i'm curious as to what you've done!
