Rear turn signal/brake light bulb color...

[QueX70]

Does anyone know what color bulb the rear turn signal/brake light is on the '16 QX70?
I'm replacing most of the exterior bulbs to Lumen NB Series and while I obviously know the lens is red, I'm not sure whether the bulb is also red or it is clear.

Clear, would have A=Amber or R=Red on the part number.

Thank you very much. I actually have a similar chart with all the bulbs types, but was not aware of the "A" and "R" references in part numbers.
I was reading other posts and discovered the VLEDS brand, which I did not know about before. They seem like a very reputable company with quality products. I like that they give a lot of informative information on bulb types and what not.
Is it the overwhelming consensus here that they have the best LED bulbs?

What do you guys think - if I want to replace the rear turn signal/brake light bulbs and the rear side marker bulbs, which VLEDS would you go for? I want to do a red bulb mainly because that is what their site suggests for red lenses. And would I need load resistors for your brake/turn signal suggestions?

You will need load resistors for the signal lights.
All of the replaceable bulbs in the rear are white, since the light housing lenses are red already.

Thanks bro!
I actually noticed that the Lumen's claim to not need load resistors. I'm going to call them today and find out definitively.

The above quoted load resistors are for the CAN Bus systems. They do not prevent hyper flash like in our FX. You will need good old fashion load resistors.

Ah ha, gotcha - thanks so much!
I should probably order an interior panel removal tool, right? I've always had trouble in the past breaking fasteners when removing panels. Any suggestions?

I have plastic trim removers. They are only a few bucks anyway.
