sylvania silverstar bulbs

i took out my orange turn signal piece, and want to put a silverstar bulb in there (looks blueish and blinks orange so its still legal. I spoke with someone from sylvania, and the 7440 bulb is only meant for an application with a reflector over it. I was wondering if anyone knows of an available silverstar size that would fit into the wedges place without problem?

THanks

Re: sylvania silverstar bulbs

you mean silvervision?

another thing to try that would be cheaper would be to paint the top of the bulb with a silver spray paint. you won't see the orange and you're light will still blink amber.

Re: sylvania silverstar bulbs

I've seen some links for these on some BMW forums.
They seem to be popular with the Bimmer crowd, not sure what bulb they use.
Can't find the link right now..... if I find it I'll post it.

Re: sylvania silverstar bulbs

There are quite a few comapnys that make chrome bulbs that flash or blow orange/amber when they are one!

SilverVision is just one.

Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but I'm looking for sylvania silverstar bulbs for my 7440 front signals, but I can't seem to find them. Anyone know where to pick them up?

I'd also love to find a set like this for the side markers (ie. 194).

Here's an example of them, although the wrong bulb type:
Amazon Amazon

I also tried silvervision also with no luck. In fact their webpage doesn't even allow one to select INFINTI when looking up the bulb types (had to go through 350z)

Thanks in advance.
