i have polarg amber bulbs.
i think bulbs are something taht are cheap enough to just go to your local import shop and pick em up. you dont' have to worry about shipping costs and wondering if they'll fit on your car (some japanese companies use some funky designations for certain bulbs)
u will need 1157 dual filaments
i really think turn signal bulbs should be non-blinding colors (ie. hyper white) like amber, red, or yellow because the point of them being there is to alert drivers of your presence. not illuminate the road (and blind drivers)

best thing to do is to go to Junkyard and get the Bulbs and Harnesses off of a 99-00 civic sedan
They are a different type of bulb than the 96-98 sedan
i forget the number of the bulb but, but it is Different, and the corner come AMber bulb
that is what i did with my TEZAZ cause i had clear corners. so when my gurl got her TEzaZ i swapped harnesses with her.
they Dont Readily make a Colored AMBER bulb for the 96-98 civic that i am aware of. i looked EVERYWHERE i could think of including walmart, target, autozone, advanced, pepboys, and even RICE BOI shops. rice boi shops wanted 15 a set to do what i could do for free, or what u can do for a few bux at a junkyard.
hell Honda Cost on those Harnesses are ONLY $10 each, and can ONLY be gotten at HONDA
but i find it worth it to swap the harness becuase the bulb is readily available, for only 3 bux
