chrome bulbs for tail lights and side markers

Just finished installed my clear tail lights and side markers this past weekend. Everything looks really great. One thing that concerns me is the amber bulb in some angles can be seen through the white part of the tail lights ....which gives off that "amber" glow.
Has anyone replaced these bulbs with a chrome covered amber bulb or something similar. If so any recommendations on where to buy?

got mine from superilluminations.com. they were the fairly inexpensive ones (less than $20 for sides and rear tails), but I think they work fine.

I use Philips Silvervisions in both of my cars. They are truly a chrome mirrored finish rather than spray painted silver. They have lasted a long time. Find them here for $20 a pair.

Normally I would agree, however people have been having problems contacting Jude at bimmerfreak of late. Make sure you have made contact with them before making a payment.

Good point about BimmerFreak. I wanted to get the Stealth bulbs, but they did not return neither of my 2 e-mails. So, I ended up using the SuperIllumination bulbs. Probably not as good, but it serves its purpose.
