front indicator lens strange problem??

[johnraw1]

Hi.
I'm running clear indicator lenses on the front of my bus and its also got clear bulbs in my friend pointed out to me. so i went along to my local auto factors to get 2 amber bulbs, but they wont fit, the clear bulbs fitted are stop/tail light bulbs with off set locating pins ie. one higher up the metal part of the bulb the the other.
Has anyone else come across this and how do I overcome the problem, I don't want to run orange lenses if poss???

I think you have bought the wrong bulbs, what you need are the silver ones that flash amber, like these

I had this with mine, go a motor parts place and get some orange bulb paint.

Cool, that's what I'll do.

Odd. The front indicators are single filament bulbs. The side lights are in the headlight.

On yank buses the side/running lights are wired into the indicator and need 2 fillament bulbs
