Just the reverse of that. Light green for the suspension and dark green for the brake lights.

I believe the original 55-6 flasher should be a Tung-Sol 273D. That would be the correct thermal type. Very reliable but are current specific and need the correct resistance in the circuit to function properly.

I would avoid the so called universal replacements offered by Napa and others as there seems to be issues with working the indicator lights with some of them. There are modern electronic flashers that work on a different principle and are not resistance sensitive. Those will work regardless of bulbs being burned out. Not sure if they are polarity sensitive though so if you decide to go that route check if the vendor offers different units for negative or positive ground. Don't have a part number offhand but several of the LED bulb companies carry them.
