the silverstars for blinkers have excellent output. a little too bright when blinking. brighter then the stock ambers.
I've heard that they sell them at walmart now.

on the silverstars, I've never paid attention to their look - are they also silver/chrome coated or are they just the iridescent blueish holographic coating? The blueish coating would put out plenty of light for blinkers - it's just the chrome coated ones that aren't very bright.

The silverstars are the bluish looking ones. I had bought a set, but was not impressed with them. I don't know that they're brighter, but the color was definitely not just amber like the untinted factory bulbs.

They were a little whiter, and I could also notice tinges of blue or green depending on the angle I was looking at the signal from. I didn't think they matched the sidemarkers and rear signals anymore so I took 'em back.

I think I just spend too much time looking at lights.

This is what you're looking for. I just put them in. They are chrome but blink amber.
Actually, they are more orange-ish than amber, which I like. They blink bright enough for me. Next Level Motoring got them to me in 3 days. NLM also has chrome white which blink white, but I believe they are illegal here in Minnesota.

With shipping they were about $20.00, if I remember exactly.
