Sylvania Blue bulbs.. amber when lit?

My friend told me about these and just looked em up, they look blue when not lit, but when lit, produce an amber light, looks nice as hell.

question is though, they dontmake em for 168 or 3497.... which sucks.

is there another name for our bulbs?

if so, wut is it? i wanna get these cuz amber bulbs have that nasty orange reflection.

Where do you want to put these bulbs?
168 = 194 = 4 used in the upper and lower corner running lights, 2 license plate lights, 2 interior maps lights [smaller bulbs]

7440 = turn signal lights (I'm assuming these are the ones you want to swap since these are the only one legally required to be orange) [these are larger than 168/194]


For the turn signals:
http://autolumination.com/7443_7440.htm

At the VERY BOTTOM of the page you will see blue bulbs that light up white for $1.99 each or mirrored-silver bulbs that light up amber for $3.49 each.

(I am not affiliated with this website in any way - I've just bought a TON of bulbs from them and have been very pleased with their prices and service)

I guess you didn't search very hard....

Check the bottom. They look silver but light up orange. $2.99 each. In my experience, there is no need for the orange 194's.
