What are correct bayonet style red and green replacement bulbs? Getting many options but want correct number replacement.

It was a 363 bulb; red (363-301) and green (363-302). This is 0.2A, 2.8W, 14V.
The lower amp 53 (0.12A, 1.7W, 14.4V) was later instituted as 363 was deprecated.
I have found that the newly manufactured bulbs from China are difficult to be install. The reason is the solder on the end of the bulb is excessive causing the spring to bottom out before you can twist the bulb and engage the nubs. My solution is to file the solder down until the bulb can easily be inserted and twisted in place.
Can you be more specific? The early 153 block signals used 6 volt bulbs with series resistors. There was a whole collection of Lionel signals that could be called block signals.
I have later 153 block signal using 14v bulbs.
Thanks, Greg
