Front Blinkers

I was wondering if anyone has changed out the amber bulbs that are the blinkers in the headlights, and if so where did you get the bulbs from? Thanks for your help!

Got the bulbs off eBay - changed mine to silver looking / amber glowing bulbs. Cleaned out the front end a bit. That's the kind of bulb that I got:

Note: the bulb did not fit directly - I had to modify the plastic base a bit to make it fit. Maybe because I had 7443's shipped to me instead of 7440's - ask the seller.
Hey thanks a lot I'm gonna go grab so, I don't know bout you but I can't stand orange or yellow lights
I found some 7440 LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com, would I be able to use those bulbs as my blinkers?

Your blinkers will be flashing annoyingly fast.
Thanks again for the help appreciate it very much
SOrry to keep botherin you with questions, but to change the bulb you just pull the bulb straight out right?
Twist and pull.
Sorry to bug you again but once I removed the set-up from the housing how do I get the bulb out? Do I just pull?
Uhums, just pull - should not be scary tight, though.
Just pull. By the way, zoltiz is right about LED bulbs in the turn signals -- just don't do it. We speak from experience.
anybody use clear bulbs in the blinkers? if i'm interpreting the CT DMV laws correctly, i can use clear blinkers, and i don't have to bother with ebay silver coated bulbs.
