    Question about bugeye light bulbs

    So, I'm thinking of clearing and blackening my 02 wrx headlights. Where locally(or online), can I get amber(turn signal) bulbs and better parking bulbs? Also, what types of bulbs are they respectively? I'm just not positive on which are which. I already have HID for my main headlights. SO I just need the part numbers for the others. I guess if anyone had part numbers for all the bulbs in the car that would be useful ;) I don't think my license plate light works either :(
    Thanks,
    - Justin K.

    I bought normal orange bulbs, put a light finish of silver spray paint over the top. They look terrific and flash amber.

    I put some tint over the headlight - see my avatar. Cant tell what color it is when it is off, but still flashes amber through the tint.
