Default Silver coated bulbs that blink amber???

Hey guys,
I was just wondering of the name of the bulbs that are silver coated and look almost clear when off, but when it blinks it blinks amber.

Also. I read the Sticky up top for the part#s from Sylvania. Are those bulb numbers only directly related to Sylvania bulbs or is that a universal part# number that all bulb manufacturers use?

well u havent told us what you want the bulbs for so:
front turns=1156 bulb
rear turns=7440 bulb
those are universal bulb sizes.

and what you want are CHROME coated bulbs. ask ebay for "chrome 1156 amber" and replace 1156 with 7440 if u want the rear.

Sorry. I would need these bulbs if I do buy red/clear 98-00 tailights from another CL member. I would want the "chrome" bulbs for the tailight turn signals so during the day, you won't see the reflection of the amber bulb behind the cleared turn signal piece.

I have been using the Stealth Auto bulbs (7440 format) for almost two years now. They are DOT approved and have a lifetime warranty. My main worry would be that they would not flash bright enough in direct sunlight. So far, no complaints from other drivers via the horn or finger.

The PIAA ones do not have the greenish tint that the Silverstars have. I bought the Silverstars, but removed them immediately because I thought they looked cheezy when lit.
