stealth 194 lightbulbs?
Does anybody know where to buy a pair of stealth 194 for the side markers? The only place I can find is stealth auto and they want $29.95 a pair. Is what a reasonable price? Could not find any on ebay.

go buy high temp resistant silver or chrome spray paint from Kragan/Napa/autozone for ~$6. Give your bulbs a quick single layer spray. Let dry. Put back in. Enjoy your new stealth bulbs.

If you have the orange side markers, why not get a pair of the euro clear side markers from ebay and they will come w/ a pair of the chrome bulbs..

I don't quite understand why you want stealth bulbs..do you have the original orange side marker?? or after market euro style clear side markers??

Out of 3 sellers on ebay, 2 of them include regular amber light bulbs which are orange colored and one that includes silver chrome stealth bulb..
Again, I thought DoT regulation requires side markers to be either orange (then u can use any kind of bulbs you want) or the bulbs has to emit orange color (in case u use smoked or clear side markers)

California Vehicle Code Section 25100
This is what I found regarding side markers:
a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (d), every
vehicle 80 inches or more in overall width shall be equipped during
darkness as follows:
(1) At least one amber clearance lamp on each side mounted on a
forward-facing portion of the vehicle and visible from the front and
at least one red clearance lamp on each side mounted on a
rearward-facing portion of the vehicle and visible from the rear.
(2) At least one amber side-marker lamp on each side near the
front and at least one red side-marker lamp on each side near the
rear.
It says it only applies for vehicles 80 inches or more, the c class (W204) is only 69.7 inches
