So now I have these headlamp assemblies with Rick's clear diffusers installed. But now I'm looking for bulbs, the 7443. Clears are available at PartSource or Cambodian Tire, but nothing in amber. What have others done?

 

Cambodian Tire?

 

NAPA Auto Parts. They have amber bulbs with a silver coating applied over so they don't stick out like ugly orange dots when turned off.

Chris.

 

JB's may have it. definatly go amber tho!

 

Hey thanks...I just called the local NAPA and they had nothing. Don't suppose you know of a specific manufacturer of these coated bulbs.

 

When I did my side markers Canadian Tire did have the bulbs for those, just regular amber. Not sure if they're the same bulb as your corner markers or not

 

APC Titan is the brand and line of bulb. They do make a 7443 style amber bulb in the Titan line.

 

Chris, thanks for the help, I'll hunt it down.

The side marker bulbs are smaller than the signal bulbs, had no trouble finding them.

As for Cambodian Tire....my engine builder told me that one. There's a distributor of auto parts that sells to shops called Altrom. He calls them 'All Wrong' because they always muck up the orders....

 

Well, I looked again today at the usual places - Cambodian Tire, PartSource and JB's - and nothing. The only 7443 bulbs available were the clears. I looked at the 'special order catalogue' at Cambodian Tire, and the APC Titan series of bulbs is listed, but no 7443 application.

So tomorrow I'm going to the ricer shop in West Ed, and they will bring in the bulbs for me special order. There are 7443 type bulbs available in other colours, also in LED type bulbs, saw them on eBay. Hopefully they won't be too pricey!
