    Default Where to buy chromed 1156 signal bulbs in calgary?

    Looking for the signal bulbs that light up amber but are chromed on the outside, to eliminate the "egg-yolk" look when in a clear housing.

    I realize I can buy them online but I would prefer to buy it locally and not wait around either. Thanks.

    I too have looked around for this in the city a few years back to no avail...

    My friend suggested spray-dusting them with engine enamel paint (but not too much) such that it gives the look. Since it's engine enamel paint it'll take the heat.

    Yup, I've done the engine enamel trick many times, works awesome and lasts for years.

    Either the silver dusting works, or grab some LED replacements from Mopac.
