Lightbulb Obscure Polara parts

I have a 68' Polara, 383 convertible, lots of fun. especially sense i get to drive her around in Italy. life is grand. but i have a couple of blinkers or turn indicators or what ever you feel like calling them built in to my trim. I finally figured out how to pull them out, and what do you know, it seems that the bulb is formed in the orange plastic, which makes it really hard to replace the bulb itself Does any one know where i can find a replacement, or a part number, or it's actual name. They have never worked as long as i have had her, and i think it would be really rad for them to. Thanks!

That is an awesome link. Thanks Polaradude, they have everything you could ever want for a mopar, unless it's a C body so i managed to get the lense off, it's a large orange plastic cover. I don't believe that these bulbs have ever been replaced. After removing the lense, i made a failed attempt to remove the bulb. The glass on the bulb seperated from the base, which is rusted firmly inplace. I am hoping to pull the left side one off today and see if it will come out so i can try to get a bulb number off of it. I think it's about time for me to buy some stock in WD40.

The lights you are talking about are called side markers they are 1968 only items. Any ones will work be it A body B body or Cbody they use the same ones. you can buy them for about 100.00 a pair the fronts use amber the rears use red lenses.

Its not the side markers i am referring to. It's a couple of lights about a foot or so above the sidemarkers facing the cab. they are only on the front, and from what i can tell, they are for you and the car next to you to tell you are turning.. (just incase you forgot that you were turning i guess).
