Silver front turn-signal bulbs: really $30?

Looking to put a set of stealth silver turn-signal bulbs in Dawn - just put in the halo turn signal housings and I don't like seeing the amber bulb.

Found THESE silver Silvania bulbs at AllMiniParts, but they're like $32 a pair shipped - that seems high. Does anyone know a cheaper, reliable supplier?

Thanks!!

You should check whether the $12.10 price is actually for a pair. Anyway, they inserted the wrong product description (they used description of Silver Star headlight bulbs).

Lowest price on eBay is $4 for a pair. Search on "7507 silver".

Many people simply spray a light coating of silver paint on the amber bulb.

I paid $12.00 shipped. You can spray stock ones or even scotch-brite them.
The silver stars however are much brighter!

The Sylvania SilverStars are in fact sold as pairs: http://www.amazon.com/SilverStar-750...4958678&sr=1-1

We stock the stealth bulbs. You don't have to paint them and they have a lifetime warranty.
