Best Clear Corner that doesn't BURN OUT quick?

I'm tired of buying bulbs that keep burning out.... and they are standard wattage too.. I'm use Polerg (spelling) and have gone through two sets.. anyone know of a type of bulb that lasts a decent amount of time? (LED would be nice!)

Try these on for size. I use this for both the side and the clearance strip.

PIAA 168 WHITE/WHITE

Also, try not to touch the bulbs on install, otherwise it will usually cause premature burnouts.

Amber or white?

I went with the amber wedge leds from autoillumination.com. I hated the look of the amber bulb showing thru the clear corner. The light is bright and being a cluster it is still somewhat omni-directional.

I got the matrix led from autolumination, supposed to be hyperwhite but they have a distinct blue tint, thinking of switching back to amber bulbs till i find something that has pure white output. Thinking of trying polarg filament bulbs I have for the city light in the corners.
