These will work, just tell the seller you want 7440. If you search for 7440 chrome bulbs there are lots of options, just make sure they light up amber.

I like Philips Silver Vision bulbs. You can get them from Autolamps-online
http://www.autolamps-online.com/cate...&sort=priceasc
I got two backup pairs as they no longer are being made in the WY21W size.

I have two pair to sell from that original eBay link. One bulb is a little scuffed from being inserted as a test. I wasn't impressed with the light intensity reduction it caused, but then again I don't smoke my lenses either. Decided not to keep them - wanted stock brightness. PM me if interested.

Thanks for the tip Spacewilly, installed the bulbs all the way around this morning and they look good. Pretty easy to install, just follow the user manual.

Could someone (or several people) with these lights post what country they were made in? All the ones on fleabay appear to be chinese/Taiwanese bulbs.

Do they make bulbs anywhere else? If you want a little higher quality you could go to stealth bulbs but not worth the extra money imo

Do you have any experience with them? These were the only ones I found to be made in the USA as well. They're twice the price but now we gotta wonder, will they last twice as long?

I absolutely don't want to come off as being on my high horse or anything but over the past couple years I've been trying to stay away from what is pretty much sweat shop labor in an effort to find better quality that may end up being cheaper in the long run. You gotta figure there must be a good reason for a large company to NOT outsource production to China. This is all horribly off topic. Please feel free to PM me if you'd like to share your thoughts on the stealthbulbs or your own, wherever they may be from.

Very awesome mod idea, I had never heard of these types of bulbs till this thread.
