Does anyone know where to get phillips silver vision bulbs or anything comparable. I want amber blinking bulbs that are coated so they cant be seen through the lenses.

Just paint the front side of the yellow bulb with hi-temp silver or white paint and you won't be able to see it. It'll still blink yellow from the back half.

Strange thing is my front bulbs are already the silvervisions (from the factory). I'm thinking in swapping the rearbulbs in the near future for silvervisions too.

juan2mini,

that link doesnt work. Do you have another one?

Jimbo,

Ive tried that on my e46 and the bulbs dont blink as bright and the amber still has a way of showing.

I would try Ebay but I dont know the type of bulb it is, and I dont want someone telling me the bulb is compatible and it isnt. Bavarian Autosport, who should know better than anyone made that mistake already and then they realized its the wrong bulb type and that they dont carry it.

sorry but i forgot...getting old :bashwall:. you want silver coated, amber blinking bulbs, right? i think i saw many of them in ebay. all you need is call your parts dept and ask for the bulb size (not sure about the owner's manual).
