Default Clear corners - what bulbs do I need?

The turn signal bulbs are probably white by default...so I need to buy some orange bulbs and mist them with silver paint?

-What brand bulb, and where to get them?
-What brand paint, and where to get it?
-Would the amber bulb in my hyperlink work? I'm 5 cents short of the minimum order for my replacement mirror glass (eye roll)

Thanks!

Default I got mine on eBay, Makoto Auto Trends for $30. They look nice, fit fine. more...

The bulb itself is orange so you'll see a hint of orange in the daytime, there are some bulbs (Silverstars I believe) that look clear but burn orange. They're expensive, like $20 each.

Sylvania Silverstars are VERY NICE, just replaced mine today with the "clear" lights that blink amber. $16.99 at PepBoys and there is a $5.00 online rebate.

I bought the clear corners on ebay for my car, here is the exact part I bought (though on this company's ebay store they were about $26). I installed them and they fit just as good as the factory ones, so no complaints here.<ul><li><a href="http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=AD96A6%2D6186CLX">http://www.procarparts.com/store-detail.asp?sku=AD96A6%2D6186CLX</a</li></ul>

Default Took a look at these on their eBay store...

Are they the full assembly, or just the lenses as I would guess. If just the lenses, are they easy to replace?

Michael- the lenses are one-piece, easy to replace, about 5-10 mins a side. tops. You'll see a residual bit of orange from the factory bulb, Silverstars are the solution I guess...
