Those lights are the "1157" lights. I heard that "1156" would also work but I'm not sure.

Oddly enough.... as I was checking this post a banner ad popped up on the top of this page for a company called automotivelightingusa.com, they had the chrome amber bulbs someone suggested earlier in the post for $8 each. I checked out the silver star ones but they only come in yellow and blue but the chrome amber bulbs come in Chrome. I've never used them before but I used my paypal account to order a couple. I'll post the results when I get them. Thanks for everyones help!
