E90 Blackline Taillight Owners: Which bulbs you got in there for turn signal?

I tried virtually EVERY RED BULBS on the market. Online websites, local stores, ebay, etc.
Some of them are advertised as "Cherry Red" which supposed to be much darker red, but I think its because of modification you have to make on 1157 bulbs(to fit the european specification), it doesn't blink as red. Conclusion: THEY ALL BLINK PINK. I had it for a year and Im through with it. It is totally gay. Today, I just swapped them out for Solaris InvisiBulbs(blinks yellow) that I had laying around.

Oh gosh, Yellow turn signals make the car look so much older. in my opinion that is. According to my research couple years back, LED snap-on bulbs will throw error code. I know many of you are against White or Red rear turn signals due to safety issues, but I considering I never had a problem with red turn signals in the past, Im going to stick with it.

1. Is there any red bulbs that'll look completely red(like the brake lights)?
2. If you use amber/yellow bulbs, can you post pics to maybe convince me one more time that it looks alright?
