Default Where can I get clear bulbs for my turn signal?

I've had my stock bulbs spray painted silver for a long time but I'm thinking it would really look a lot nicer if I had clear bulbs. Of course I'd want them to still blink amber. Know I've heard of some Philips bulbs or something, I'd prefer something I can pick up instead of ordering if possible. Can anyone advise? Thanks.

Default Only alternative is LEDs....

The Philips bulbs your are talking about are called "Silvervision" and they look much like your existing spray painted bulbs. There are no clear bulbs that blink amber (at least that I have ever heard of).

Default Hmm.. that sucks.. What about if I can live with no amber blinking?

What bulbs can I get that are clear and just blink white?

Default Ya thats what quite a few ppl have.....not legal but-

i doubt you will get bothered for it. Another thing is that a clear/white blinking bulb will look amber compared to how white your xenons are :-)

Default You arent gonna find anything locally.. :(

You best bet is to call SPP tomarro, and order some.. youll have them by the end of the week or so.. Ive got Orasms in at the moment, they are clear but blink orange.. I have my euros wired up so that they dont turn on with the parking lights, only when i signal You could get clear bulbs (from pep boys) and wire up our lights like mine.. Ill be more than happy to give you a hand today if you want, it takes about 2 seconds to wire you lights like mine... let me know,
