the stock bulbs are amber. Your just thinking of the reflective part. I would just go OEM smoked it will be the best fit

I have aftermarket smoked ones with the clear corners. I have a slight issue with fitting but they are much nicer than the stockers...

how hard were they to fit and what did you have to do to make them fit?

They are just as easy to install as the stock ones. There is a small gap between the fender and the headlight but that's about it. Not really noticeable unless you look really hard...I can live with it because it looks much, much nicer..
