Default Turn Signal Bulbs

So i've decided to get euro style clear corners for my blazer, but I dont want to have the amber stock bulbs to be showing through. I've heard once or twice on here before about bulbs that will remain blue until activated, then they will be amber so your legal 'n stuff.
-Where can I found such bulbs cause my friend and I are inerested in buying some.
-Also, how much do ya think it'll set me back?

Thanks Guys
-Luke

Sylvania Silverstar signal bulbs have a silver coating on them and light amber. You could also have the same effect with the regular amber bulbs and a mist of silver spray paint. Don't go coating the bulb, just a mist of paint enough to mask the color until it lights up. Much cheaper alternative!

Thanks guys, now there are 2 bulbs per turn signal right?

Cause I looked and there are the bulbs that flash for the signal and there are ones that stay lit for your nightime lights/daytime lights, right?

ok, one more question. I like the paint idea, but does the paint shorten the life of the bulbs or damage them in any way?

dude, do it right the first time! dont waste your money on bulbs($5) and then a can of spray paint(3) just spend the extra money! you'll regret it once you have to keep painting them over and over and over x 300 its 20 bucks!
