2357A with blue tint
anyone have any alternatives to the SYLVANIA Silver Star turn blinkers for 2004.5+ Bi-Xenons ?
SYLVANIA Silver Stars are known for the blue hue around the light bulb, however, they blink amber. But these don't exist for the 2357A bulb.
What's weird is that I have some on my Bi-X that came from Europe, but there's no manufacturer name on the bulbs themselves. So they're out there, but not sure WHO makes them ?
Perhaps, Steve (MBenzNL) knows ???

If not, I'll check with Steve this weekend when I see him, to inquire about getting some European pseudo-SilverStars.

does anyone know what size bulb goes in the back tailight of a 05' c230 because when i went to ask autozone what size it was they all didnt know what type of bulb it was. they said they have never seen a bulb like that because the prongs on the bulb were close together not like striaght across from eachother.

BTW, just to update this thread as well, the S-Class/w220 style taillights have 7507 blinkers, which are not 1157. They base of the 7507 bulb has the prongs set more to one side of the base (on opposite ends of the base). Here are some pics from auto illumination, so you can see the difference:
7507 bulb
1156 bulb
1157/2357 bulb
7507 bulb
1156 bulb
1157/2357 bulb

I think you were looking for chrome amber blinkers to purchase. If that's the case, Stealth Auto is a sponsor and they specialize in those. Contact them for more information. Follow the "View The Advertisor Index" link near the top of the forum.
