Default Corvette blinker light

My front left blinker light needs replacing. I'm at the Eckler's web site and looking at their light bulb selection, but none of them actually reference blinker light:

Am I looking in the wrong place? Is this the best place to pick up a blinker light, or would you recommend another?

A light bulb is a light bulb...why buy it from a specialty catalogue and pay for shipping on a $2 item (shipping will cost more then the light bulb)?

The bulb is a 4157NA. Its a dual filament bulb for T/S, DRL and parking lights. Anywhere sells them; Walmart, Autozone, Checker.......

You'll need to know how to change it because it isnt easy. You'll get three suggestions

Go in through the brake ducts - not easy with a Z06 or if you have screens

Go in through the bottom by taking out the bottom panel

The one that works for me is:

Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.

10 minute job.

Some guys with big arms remove the hood adjusting screw for better access. Guys with even bigger arms have had to take off the headlight cover. Four torx screws (2 back, 1 each side). Take the back ones off first with the lamps down. Raise the lights and take the side ones out.
