De-amber which new bulbs?

So I have gotten clear side markers finally and am looking to deamber my litronic headlamps... It seems all I need is my soldering iron and a pair of pliers...

But what bulbs to replace the stock? I assume I will need new amber bulbs. It seems like Pelican has some stealth bulbs that might be correct but anyone know which ones? It's a 2003 S.

thanks!

I had a version of those stealth bulbs in my car for a while, but I wasn't happy with the light output. You could barely see my blinkers in bright daylight. Might have just been junky chinese knockoffs or something, but I ended up replacing them with these guys: here

The light output is much better and you can just occasionally see a blueish tint behind the headlamp lens.

Good luck with the amberectomy!

I bought these from eBay. P21W 1156 7506 3497 Amber Chrome Halogen Bulbs Pair | eBay

They work quite well in day or niht conditions. And the price was right too!
