I was looking at the Sylvania 3157AST bulbs, would these be the bulbs I want for clear corners on my 97 SSEi?

Nevermind...looks like I need 194s? What 194 bulbs would you recommend?

Just use a standard bulb, but spray it with a mist of silver paint. It will look great, and still let enough light through.

I'm personally a fan of the Silverstars. They're inexpensive (11-12 bucks), and they allow for better visibility (since you're not painting over them).

Silverstars don't make a 194 bulb.

When I had my 95, I personally ran just standard orange bulbs. I didn't mind the look, and it gave the best light.

Ya I was just thinking of going over to one of the local autoparts stores and see if I can just pick up some regular 194 orange bulbs, though there are some on ebay that come silver.
