My car is still far from me. I was going to replace the amber turn signal lenses with DEPO white ones. I just don't know what turn signal bulbs I need. I believe they still have to blink amber. Anyone do this mod that can help.
Front turn signal bulbs

The car is going to the junkyard, took out the parts this week..
I don't know if the bulbs are the same, but they come in clear and amber. If you have amber lens's, get clear bulbs, if you have clear lens's get amber bulbs.
I had to replace an entire corner, the bulb sent to me was amber, and had a different socket.

I have white bulbs now will change them to amber when I mount them. I was hoping some new the part number like 1169 and I could buy them before I got there.
The bulb in the corner assembly on an 83 300D, is 1157.
I put in orange bulbs when I switched to clear corners. It wasn't the same catalog number, but the bulb is the same size and the two bottom contacts are the same. Sorry, I can't find the number right now.
I like the orange bulbs. I think it is more obvious when signalling. And the color change is cool. They also make silver bulbs that burn orange if you want the most dramatic change.

They should be 1157 which is a dual filament bulb. The Depos my buddy purchased for is 85 SD cam with 1156 bulbs and sockets which were single filament. Luckily the OEM sockets fit in the clear Depos. Has anyone else had this problem with Depo?
I bought a pair of Euro corners (which are more orangey rather than the typical amber) that came with a single-filament bulb. Since they used the "city bulb" in the main reflector, they don't use the double filament bulb as running lamps in the corners. I have both my city bulbs and corner double-filaments wired because I like it that way.
I found the package of bulbs that I'm using.
They are Sylvania 1157A amber colored, double filament bulbs.

Thanks guys I should have known they were 1157A I new the standards were 11 something just couldn't remember the "57" the "A" is for Amber. What's the going rate for Euro turn signals. I plan on putting them on Ebay. How do I verify they are EUROs and not American Lenses or are they the same?

By the way. I never noticed your turbo is spooling in your avatar until now.
