Default Side Marker Bulbs

I just ordered the clear side markers from Rick's, and want to replace the bulb with a white one, close to the color of the HID's. I looked in the manual, no bulb code, I looked on the bulb, no bulb code. Does anyone know what I replace the bulb with?

Just realize I'll need the reverse lights, and rear turn signal bulbs as well, anyone know what they might be?

168 wedge is the side markers... I think you can use a 194 as well.

I put Ricks clear side-marker lenses on and at first had amber bulbs in there. I then changed them to blue bulbs (thought they looked cool on my Suzuka Blue ).

Now I'm starting to wonder if they are required to be amber? I "think" that the front parking light/turn signal is required by (Federal?) law to be amber. Are the side lights also required to be amber?? Anyone know?

I believe only the front turn signals are required to be amber. If I remember right, Audi puts clear side markers with white bulbs in their cars stock. I ordered white turn signal, running light, and side marker bulbs though, I had them on my other car, and never got pulled over or had any problems with them.

Randman, since you're in California, here's a link to the california vehicle code regarding the turn signals.

It actually says you can have white or amber in the front but has to be amber on the sides.
