Titanium Bulbs ??

While buying a torque wrench at Pep Boys last week I noticed in the "performance" section these Titanium bulbs for turns signals and parking lights.
The bulbs themselves have mirror finish on them and no color, however the packaging had their color listed (amber, red, or blue).
Anyone have these or seen them?
I hate being able to see the amber bulb inside my clear corners, both front and rear. I think I'd go with amber up front and red in the rear if these bulbs are any good.

How much did the torque wrench cost? Because I need to get one to fix my knock sensor.

I think it was $20 for the 1/2" drive torque wrench that clicks. I got the really long handled one too.

I looked on the Sears.com web site and they wanted $100 for a 1/4 wrench.

Well I certainly didn't get a top of the line torque wrench, but it seems well made and did the job. I think Craftsman (the brand Sears sells) is expensive. Just shop around

So the bulbs look silver, and blink amber, red, etc.? I think thats what these bulbs do too. Id rather buy the paint and do it myself. Ill check it out. Do you remember the brand of paint or no?
