Silverstar makes them. They typically run about $20 a pair. You should be able to find them at autozone or pep boys. Thats where I bought mine.

If they are the same ones I saw in Pepboys, they are not pure silver, but rather are tinted blue. Personally, I think they look like crap.

Agree. Go to bimmian and buy the solaris bulbs.

Understeer.com sells them as well for $20. It is at the bottom of the page, the Xtec chromed amber bulbs.

Why pay $20 for a pair when you can just spray your amber bulbs silver? It looks just as good and still flashes orange.

does it make them dimmer? just any high temp silver paint? i dont want them to be dim
It's SO easy to just spray them very lightly with some silver engine paint. I got mine from AutoZone.
I taped the bulb to the top of a water bottle and just VERY lightly dusted them with the paint. The look silver and flash a bright orange. No problems at all. They are not dim if you just dust them.
Just be sure to wipe them with an alcohol pad before spraying or the paint will "crackle" up.

Not much different compared to non painted amber bulb, go this route and save!
This what I aslo did to my rear turn amber bulbs. Matched to clear tail light when "off" but blink amber.
High temp paint will do just fine from your local autozone..etc

The silver stars are pretty cool. But, they make your corner lights look like you have blue bulbs in there. Go with the Solaris/Stealthbulbs.
