    Does anyone know if bulb manufacturers are still making Diadem (pearlescent blue) coated indicator bulbs? I've run these in a lot of my previous vehicles and love the look inside the headlight housing - replacing the amber coated lens with something that just looks better behind the clear lens - and yes, the bulbs still glow amber in color when activated. Any who - I can't seem to find much of anything on the web. A common company used to be Silverstar or Osram - but not anymore. Here are some photos for reference.

    I bet with the spread of LED lights they are just not selling as much, so manufactures are going towards the LED vs old bulb tech.

    I forked out the 14 Euros for the non-namebrand ones overseas. I'll post a pic once I install them. I get the LED hype, but in all honesty I believe these add a little something more inside the reflective housing. I'm quite surprised all the main manufacturers dropped this line - but I'm sure they have their reasons
