Phillips Silvervisions or APCs, but I can't find a vendor. I've tried Checker, PepBoys, & AutoZone, but no luck. Anyone know where I might find them?

Thanks,
Loren

Default make sure they are dual filamant bulbs (pics of my white bulbs--->)

I could only find single filament ones...

I opted to spray my bulbs with some white spray paint...IMO they looked better than the silver but turned the amber turn signal into more of a peach color.

Why do you say 'dual filament'? The Phillips Silvervisions everyone has are single filament.

Some have reported that they only work the bulbs as blinkers, not w/ running lights as well.

Default exactly...with the silvervisions you wont have any running lights.

youre better off buying dual filament bulbs and painting them yourself...but i would let them dry overnight or else youll scratch the paing off when you try and replace the bulb back into the housing.

Default Yes they are, but they are keyed for the euro turn signal holder. Since the housings you have are US

spec, they are expecting a dual filament bulb. No one I know of makes a dual filament bulb that is silver or clear and blinks amber. The single filament bulbs that ARE silver or clear will not fit your holder ; (

Sounds like that is probably the answer.
