Default Chrome Turn Signal Bulbs?
Just found some chrome turn signal bulbs on ebay and was wondering if anyone has tried them out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/4x-74...item19c869d08d

I know that a few guys already have stealth bulbs, but 30 bucks for two stupid filament bulbs is a little bit ridiculous. Anyone else agree?

^ I'm even dumber for buying 6 boxes, instead of 6 bulbs.

Those are bad and dim, I tried them all before no go because of the safety issue.
Even the Stealth Auto stealth bulbs are not bright enough.

If you want good quality Chrome Turn Signal Bulbs, go with PIAA Mirror Orange, or Philips Silver Vision. They are expensive and can be imported from Euro or Asia.

I am using PIAA Mirror Orange and they are as bright as OEM ones under direct sunlights.

bumping an old thread.

I tried searching 7440 Philips Silver Vision but couldn't find any, is it not 7440?
