You can use the clear bulb that comes in the OEM orange markers in the smoke ones.

Have you tried a 194 LED Bulb? I am not sure if these would cause a bulb out error on your car but it is worth a shot. We have done these in a variety of applications and they are a simple plug and play replacement for most cars. The issue is some cars have their bulb out warning system tied to the sidemarkers and will sense the lower power draw of the LED bulb which triggers a warning or will not function properly.
