Hey,
is there a bulb to swap out the OEM turn signal in the taillights with that ISNT orange but still glows amber?
and not a LED

Why not an LED? You can't magically make an element glow whatever color you want, the glass is there to filter light. This is the reason there is LEDs in the first place.

I just bought some neutral LEDs to get rid of the Amber bulbs in my front headlights. (I dont have stock tails.)

That is what I bought. If you get four you can do the front and rear.

If you're really looking to swap them out, I'd do LED's. More convenient, they'll last longer, and can be brighter than halogens. To get a really good halogen bulb that isn't orange tinted, you're probably going to end up spending just as much as doing LED's in the first place.

I got mine from here http://www.autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm
you'll want the 7440 Silver Stealth Titanium Chrome Vision.

hmm,
the only reason i didnt want LEDs was because i dont like how they look in general compared to the bulb.

but i might go LEDs for the brightness because ill be painting the inside black.

maybe if you just want the bulb to reflect chrome but blink amber....
