What bulb do YOU have in your clearance strip? Pics wanted!

I've been reading on this subject for weeks now, and browsing around on various websites, and blah-blah-blah. However, despite all that, I can't seem to find anything definitive on what bulb is 'highly recommended' to run in the clearance strip of my '05 coupe.

I'm not interested in ripping the headlights apart to install an LED strip. While I think that looks great, it's just not something I want to deal with. All I want is to buy a bulb that's a clean, true white color -- and yes, I understand many bulbs have a blue tint, which is fine -- that will light up the length of the clearance strip.

I know there are TONS of you out there that have replaced the shabby-looking stock bulbs that come in the clearance strips .. but where are the pics?!

I'd love it if people who have changed out their stock clearance strip bulb for an LED would post some photos! And of course, the information on what bulb it is, too, and where I can buy 'em.

^^ I understand that. I'm not trying to figure out what bulb number it is for the clearance strip -- I already know that. And I already have gone to v-leds.com and other websites and browsed around.

But there are a bazillion choices. I'm just curious to see some of the results of all the various bulbs available. I'm sure some look better than others.

^^ I have done that -- but the results I've come across involve LED strips, angel eyes, bulbs for places other than the clearance strip (city lights, fog lights, sidemarkers, blah-blah), paint, tint, and so forth. And that's not what I'm looking for at all.
