Default Turn signal bulb problem... maybe?

Ok, so I bought some chrome turn signal lights from ProStreetLighting on eBay (many good reviews and they were inexpensive, so I'm not mad about that)... well, I put them in and am worried. See, they didn't seem to pop in as snug as the factory ones... I could get them in and tight, but with a little jiggle they loosened right up... so I snugged them in best I could and secured them to the housing with electrical tape... I was just wondering if you guys thought they would be ok or if I should take 'em out and just get another set?

Can anyone recommend some other clear/chrome bulbs? I noticed that no one's found those Sylvania turn signals yet, so...

Have you tried just using clear Sylvania bulbs from your local auto parts store? They will light up white which is legal in most states and be invisible from the front of the car...cheap too.

Well, I ordered another set of the CORRECT SIZE... but in the process, awesome me scratched one of the turn signal housings. Obviously? Not really. But it will still ____ the hell outta me.

I got my 7440s from Autolumination and the look sharp.

the Amber Chrome right under the Golf IV headlight.
It's a regular filament bulb not LED. I dont recommend LED for signals without using resistors.

i got my LED turn signals from JLeviSW. came with resistors. an hour or so to install. most of which was just finding a place to put the resistors. I ended up drilling a few holes and mounting them on the radiator support (i think that's what it is anyways).
