Colored glass bulbs

Anyone got any Links to some Quality Glass Bulb Dealers?
Slim pickins in the Rural Area I'm in.

I'm looking for:

#1157-Red Glass
#1156 Clear (not a problem)
#1156-Amber (not a problem)

Along these lines, I was going to go with Clear Side Marker Lenses ,
so is it Amber Color in Front and Red in the Rear?

If so, than I'll need some
#194 in Amber
#194 in Red

Re: Colored glass bulbs

Just a suggestion...

You have to be careful with some of the 1157's, though. I bought a complete set for my '68, and the particular ones this guy was selling didn't fit in the housings. I imagine some will, some won't.

I've had no problems with his small colored 194's, though. I used the 5 SMT LED bulbs in my dash - bright white/blue instead of the pale green. I like it!

Re: Colored glass bulbs

I just thought of something.

I run these on my Motorcycle with a Clear lens and they work great:
http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...41&click=37735

Anyone know if it could be used on my GMC?
I use these on my Bike because they were a higher candle power.
I was just wondering, if I'd run into "any Problems" using these on my Truck (ie. overloading the wiring or a circuit?
