Received mine about 10 minutes ago and they are already on the car. I think they look much better than the orange ones, but I will have to get used to how they stick out from the car a little. This is the third car I have replaced orange marker lights for clear ones and they have always made the car look better.

That looks great!

I have done multiple searches on the internet for the chrome red bulbs and came up with zilch.

Anyone else had any luck?

I run the regular red bulbs. The actual number is 194. I found that 194 in red looks too pink to me at night. So I found a red 168 which is the same bulb, but less candlepower making it look more red.

I tried the chrome silver (yellow) bulbs in my front clear markers and didn't like the look at all. It looked like a black hole in the housing during the day. I went with regular yellow 194a.

I was going to buy the regular yellow 194a's for the front, but when I put the clear lenses on with the clear light, I really like the look, night or day. It matches the corner lights in the headlights, and since the side markers are not turn signals, I think the clear will be fine.
