I'd go for an LED bulb! (v-leds.com is a good place to look).

Go for LEDs! I went with LEDs for an extra like $5 per pair and I don't regret it at all!

LEDs will hyperflash. You can remedy that by installing resisters or an electronic flasher.

I used Stealth Auto for stealth/chrome bulbs: http://www.stealthauto.com/
