I was inspecting my trucks bulbs the other day because my 3rd Brake Light was out and I came across these in my front turnsignals. It seems the lights covering was flaking.
Sorry about the pictue quality, bad digital camera.

 

Same thing is happening in the front turn signals of my wife's 2000 Villager.

 

Same thing is happening on my truck (and was before i did the headlight mod.) I was wanting a silver bulb that lights up amber, but the "chrome" bulbs light up blue, and the silverstar bulbs are blue when they're off, not silver!

 

This is very strange, are the lights Sylvania?

 

i have "chrome" that light up amber...

used them in my stock headlights, and now in my brazilians

 

i love my silverstars....except mine look more purple than blue when they're off....

 

What brand are they and where did you get them?

The "chrome" ones at Autozone say amber on the packaging but def. lit up blue.. I took them back.

 

That happens sometimes. I've seen it plenty of times but I've also seen them last for years and years.

 

wowak there are a couple of sellers on ebay, also moss motors sell them, F150store.com

 

$25 from Moss? No thanks! Looks like I'm sticking with amber.

 

yeah moss is extremely overpriced, but even on ebay, youll spend between 15-22 shipped for a set. thats just the going price

 

for chrome lights, I would go to Autozone. Although I didn't buy them I noticed that there were some turn signal bulbs that were chrome, but I don't know if they lit up amber or not. I think they were #3057, can't remember if that's the right bulb.

 

I have those blue/amber/rainbow looking silverstars when there off and AMBER when there on. really neet but they were $15 for a set

 

The happens when the glass is just "colored", not true "colored glass". That's why some colored bulbs cost twice as much as others. They figure the bulb will blow long before the color melts.
