LED Recommendation for Clearance Light/Side Marker

I'm looking for a good LED replacement for the Clearance/ side marker light on my 09 sedan since one is burned out. I'd like to stay with amber color, but would also like to go brighter than the standard bulbs and assume a good LED would have higher output than the stock bulb.
Ideally, i want a "plug and play" LED that doesn't have any clearance issues. Maybe one from Diode Dynamics? If so, which part number? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Yes. That's the one. Do you know which part number? I'm just wanting a good fit and more output. You happy with yours?

Its just called a "wedge type bulb"
City Light LEDs for 2003-2008 Infiniti G35 Sedan (pair) - G35 Sedan - Infiniti - Products By Vehicle

They don't actually light up the road, so a high output bulb won't make much of a difference.
The only legal colors for city lights btw are amber, or white. I went with white, since i really hate amber.

Perfect...thank you! My goal is just to make the front more visible to others since the silver titanium color of the car seems to blend into everything too much.

Thank man, Yea I'm really happy with front end, took some time but love the lights! DD is good stuff, I even went LED turn signals. You have to run them with a resistor so you dont have hyper blink, but those look great too

All white looks nice if you have the 2010+ headlights with the switchback LED for the turn signal.

My grille is black now which kinda makes those bulbs look better since the front loses shine and goes from dark to bright. Should look even better once I paint the housings black

Lol your car kind of looks like an alien or something with those lower lights. Kinda cool though.
