replacing rear turn signal lights
now that i have custom taillights, my turn signals blink white, and i dont really wanna go all crazy putting in led's just for turn signals.
but i went to pep boys to see if they had any red or amber coated 7443 bulbs and they do not. All they had were white/clear.
Are they gonna come in the fashion I want them to, or will i have to go with LEDs? If I go with LEDs, what would be the best lights (i prefer vleds.com) and which resistor would I need?
How bout this: http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/P...35733-1-2.html
And I'm not sure which resistors I would need ... http://www.v-leds.com/LED-Load-Resistors/c122488-1-3/
I rather just go with regular bulbs if possible, since its cheaper, but depending upon whats available, we'll see!
Thanks in advance!

I'd prefer amber. Safer/easier to see when the tail lights or brake lights are on, imho.

I got them off ebay cant remember the brand but they are only 9 leds, at nite they are bright, but during the day I've been told that you cant really see when they are blinking so I'm thinking of going back to regular red bulbs non-led
