"Blue" bulbs for corners and reverse?

One of my corner bulbs up front went dead the other day and I will have to replace them. I was thinking that I would like to replace them with the "blue" bulbs. I have the Zenon headlights so I thought it would be a good match up front.

Where should I look into getting the "blue bulbs" for the corners and for the reverse lights? I think it would look cool to have them all the way around.

One more question though. The sides of my corner lights have an amber lens (spel?). Remembering the Zip-Loc comercial "yellow and blue make green". Do you think that this would look silly?

I found them on this site while researching the Silverstars: http://www.powerbulbs.com/index.htm

I'm sure you can find them in the US at a comparable price.

I thought about that, but I really didn't want to spend a whole bunch of money doing this.

Does anyone have some of the clear corners on their truck? How much were they and how do they fit? Anyone got pics?

About $20-$30 on Ebay:

Blue

I had got a set of the the blue bulbs. They were way too blue. I replaced them with PIAA Super White 168's (same size as 194). Much more Xenon-like color.:eek:

Well, I checked out my truck and the clear corners are not going to work since I have the color keyed package on the truck. The outside trim on my corners are painted to match the truck. I don't want to have the clear ones painted to match. That is more of a project than I wanted to get into.

Thanks Cebby, it looks like you just came up with plan "B".
