Default Tail light(bulbs) question

I've got the black housed taillights that are are colored in the pattern: white-red-write... It's been so long since i've had stock taillights I cant remember how the lighting should be. I'm looking to replace the white bulbs where the turn signals are. The light bulb that stays on all of the time, should i make it red? If I do that should I get a white bulb for the turn signal or should I get amber?

I guess I'm kind of worried that if i get a red running light and a amber turn light the colors will mix and won't come out correctly.

Thanks for the help.

BTW - I'm thinking of using LED's from this place: http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-b...gi?product=CAR

LED bulbs work REALLY well and give a cool effect, I run them on my 96 Escort, however on my 00 Integra, I run the stock ones. White WILL get you pulled over for turnsignals even though it seems really stupid, its "illegal". So dont spend too much on white ones, but then again, you can always put them behind the red if you need to.

Well yea.. i've been pulled over 3 times until i realized hey, why not just take out the running light. duh. So now it just lights up when the turn signal is on. Thats what im asking whether or not I should get a red bulb for the running light or maybe just leave it off and then get an amber bulb for the turn signal ...
