Or get these. They cost more, but better then the APC bulbs.
Look for them in performance/ specialty shops.

I run w/ them

They make some turn signal silverstars that light up amber. Only bad thing is the bulb is blue.

go to ebay and type "silver bulbs" or something like that, and you will find them.

You can make your own. Cut two slots into a shoebox lid and place the bulbs into the slots. Cut a quarter-size hole in the center of the two slots. Place the lid onto the shoebox and spray some metallic colored spray paint into the box. Only spray a little at a time. The mist from the paint will coat the bulbs enough to mask the amber color and they will still emit amber light.

I tried this. Not too good of an idea because the bulb get's hot and it will cause to burn out sooner.
