Can't help with the turn signals - only the rear; the best choice IMO is the Iridium Coated Red Incandescent Bulb. JP cycle has'em - made by Kuryakyn. These are 1157's. They do NOT shine pink in any way. They're awesome, don't fade over time and are nice and bright. The catch is the cost: about $20 a bulb.
As for the turn signals - I have smoked lenses on my ride -both front & rear- and just have red bulbs in the rear & the orange/yellow bulbs in the front. To be honest, you can hardly tell what color bulb is in'em because of the way the lenses are smoked....have you put in your lenses yet & just checked to see how it looks?
My opinion is that the round signals are so small, that the smoke effect shadows or drowns out the true color of the bulb when it's on; as for the rear tail light - that's another story due to how big the housing is (and depends on which housing you have). Again, I just picked up the lay down Kuryakyn tail light that came with that iridium bulb. I and others love the look I've got, front & rear.
*NOTE: My sig pic does not reflect the lay down tail light I have on. I need to update the pic

Seems like the few Ebay dealers that have red chrome bulbs are either from China or southern Kazakistan. "u crazy American want chrome bulb that work with good color.....u crazy!"
