Clear Bulbs that glow 'yellow' ... Where?

I've got the clear sidemarkers going in ... but I'm not crazy about seeing the obvious yellow bulb through the lens. I remember reading about place to get a clear or white bulb that when activated, glowed yellow.
Where/who's got 'em?

Thanks in advance,

HELLA makes yellow bulbs. Most of the major bulb manufacturers do. I would also recommend going with LED bulbs. They are clear and when activated can emit different light spectra, they last longer, and use less voltage than traditional bulbs. PIAA also makes a light you are looking for.

I am not sure if these will work, but I have had good luck with Hoen for Audi applications.

Thanks for the help everyone, but G-Money comes through with the site AND the right fitment type.
Who could ask for more?!
Great news, they have 'em in stock!

You're the best!

You may as well go ahead and pick up a set of the Hoen XenonMatch fog lights while you are at it.

I saw those on the site! They do make the car look contiguous. Thanks for sharing the pict's. I'll be ordering them too. "JMLA" gave me a great site on anther post that sells all kinds of bulbs. Here's the link: http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm
This site gives a LOT of options and alternatives. Thanks JMLA.

One more thing all the coated bulbs run hotter than stock... the silver coated bulbs are hotter than the sun. Be careful replacing any bulbs that are on for extended periods of time with coated bulbs.

I have always been fine with the Hoen xenonmatch fogs, but several RS4 owners melted their housings and or bulb sockets when they swapped out their day-time running lights for silver coated ones.

Be careful with some of these bulbs and do some searches on 6speed for other threads concerning this subject. Some of them burn very hot and have actually melted the housings.
