Sorry I think you're right. they have PY21W but not WY21W.

ALternative is LEDs but yu would need to modify the wiring to add a resistor which is a dealbreaker for me.

they don't have them in stock. This is the latest email I got from them on 5/24..

Dear Customers
Thank you again for your patience during what seems a production problem.
Philips have confirmed that the next expected delivery will be July, we have verified this with Philips Japan where these products originate, we have discussed the possible supply direct and from other Philips Distributors but no one has any (maybe 1 or 2 pairs left in various places only).
We cannot ask you to be any more patient than you have been but we have one more avenue to explore to get some directly from Japan, however, we do not know as yet at what price and how many available.
If you want to wait until we know if we can secure enough pairs to fulfil existing back orders we will update you finally by the end of this week.
For those of you who would rather a refund and try elsewhere, please be aware no has had a delivery since March so we would advise you check before buying that they definitely have stock; otherwise you have gained nothing; we will give 100% priority to any existing customer with us and give first come first served allocation when we have secured some even for those of you who take a refund now we will keep your email to hand and advise you immediately when some are found.
Please advise us what you want to do.

Thank you for choosing www.autolamps-online.com
Regards

Janet

Do they have the non Philips branded ones? I noticed other silver WY21W bulbs on their site.

never considered that. i'll ask em' thanks. If they do have them available than I stand corrected. I guess I can say they don't have Philips branded WY21W bulbs. If it works the same I guess no harm in trying..

mine showed up today and I swapped the rear in; will tackle the fronts when I install the sways. Subtle, but cleans up the lights. I ordered an extra set for spares down the road. Thanks again to OP for the tip and details.

@ Alwayz..give autolamps a try, send them an email or call them first. They were able to get one more bulk load of these bulbs. They still may have them in stock. They are now 27.00 per pair shipped.

Guys here another way to get raid off the fried egg look:

Option 1: Use paint thinner to remove the "orange paint" on the bulbs;

Option 2: Purchase "7440 CLEAR" from any of autoparts, which cost less than $5.00 per set.

This might not be as orange, but still legal !!!

Old thread but still a nice subtle mod. I'm looking around now and finding it hard to find Philips Silvervision WY21W bulbs for sale. However, I do see PY21W bulbs for sale and for a cheaper price. So what is the difference between WY21W and PY21W bulbs?

Thanks
