Default amber bulbs

i bought some euro clear corners for my girl's 92 civic 4dr dx. well, the lenses came with amber bulbs but they were the wrong kind b/c everytime we turned on one turn signal, they both blinked. well, we went and looked everywhere adn could not find amber bulbs for the corner lights..all i could find were clear ones. there was a guy who worked at auto zone who had the same problem and he said that he just colors his bulbs with a sharpie marker. i did it and it worked but i would much rather buy amber bulbs. anyone know where i can get them?

it may not be a bulb problem bro, could be wiring

*EDIT* (i didnt think my post would be helpful, so i added)

try putting in OEM bulbs, replace all that work in conjunction with the turn signals first, then if it continues get your relays and wiring checked

The guy at autozone should've directed you to a set of 1157 NA bulbs (1156 for the rear). If he worked there, he should've known that.

You couldn't have just bought the amber bulbs at the store? It's only about 2 bucks or so... I'm kinda surprised that your clear corners came with bulbs in the first place...
