Stealth Bulbs
I'm looking for stealth bulbs for my front turn signals. Anyone knows other brands beside stealth auto? I do think that their bulbs are quite expensive.

There is another brand and cost about $10.00 per two, I don't know how good they are; I got my stealth bulbs for $20.00

Stealth isn't bright enough because they're covered with mirror coating, I found Silverstar to be more useful. Here you go,

I used Silvestars in my previous car and loved the way they looked.

I do have the Silverstar bulbs right now but I don't really like the purplish reflection you get. The stealth bulbs are clean.

The Silverstar bulbs are not completely mirrored, so you will see a odd reflection of orange and purple-blue through the lens.

I prefer the completely mirrored bulbs, as it makes the lighthousing look cleaner with no yellow (or other color) through the lens/reflector. They are also much cheaper than the Silverstar and I don't think the reduction of light output makes it a safety issue, if any at all.

I got mine off of ebay. The bulb number is 3457. DO NOT buy from seller "rcalnan" though. Bad seller. Does not respond to emails.

I have attached before/after photos.

I got my bulbs from him. And one of the bulbs went out yesterday after only a month of use. Where did you get yours from? Which seller in ebay?

Unfortunately, it was purchased from him as well. Looks like he's the only one selling them on ebay right now too.

Steal auto offers LIFETIME GUARANTEE if the bulbs go out. You will just have to ship it back to them and they will send our a new pair.
