Upgrading clear bulbs next to front turn signals

Does anyone know of an alternative to the small stock bulbs that sit next to the amber front turn signal bulbs? They are really yellow and dim compared to the Silverstars I've installed, yet when I checked the Sylvania website, they only seem to list replacement amber bulbs.

If you aren't familiar with the bulbs, they are those small plug in style bulbs like you find in some of the interior lights. I know that you can probably get some dim blue tint bulbs that would probably fit, but I'd love to get some bright white bulbs. Maybe I'm asking too much...I guess if anyone knew the size of these bulbs, that would be a great start.

Thanks.

mini bulbs

i replaced almost all of my bulbs either to get rid of the
yellow or to increase intenesty(spelling).
i have smoked-out my exterior,so i wanted more light behind
the lenses. go to daniel stern. dastern@torque.net
have him send his ph.# . he will talk you through every upgrade
you want. he knows mini's.
hope this helps, doug

You need 194W (wedge) bulbs for these lights. 5W. I bought a set of PIAA bulbs which match my Xenon headlights perfectly. They are blue when off, but this isn't really noticeable. Try here, they shipped really fast:
