Default Clear Turn Signal Bulbs that match Headlight?

Hello, I installed some clear lens on the front turn signals on my 2015 street glide special. I am using clear 1157 bulbs but when turned on they are duller looking compared to the stock headlight. Is ther a brighter/whiter 1157 bulb I could use?

Thanks!

I don't know how close they'll match the LED highlight.

Kinda hard to see in the pic but the turn signals need to be a little brighter and whiter too match.

no that's not LED

sorry had to edit my post because it dawned on me after posting that you've got the dual halogen bulb setup..

I'm almost 100% certain my dual halogen headlamp I used a Silverstar 9006 55w (low beam) and a 9005 65w (high beam) .

the matching bulbs for turn signals would be the Sylvania Silverstar 1157

some complain about the lifespan of these bulbs but I ran them for over 2 years in my 09 Ultra without issue, never failed. I also have run the Silverstar Ultra in my 2500HD (very rough ride) since 2010 and the same bulbs are still in there.

Hate to be so picky but I googled some pics of the clear silverstars and they appear to give the light a bluish color. So. I'm still looking/googling for a slightly brighter/whiter 1157 in a clear color.
