Default Where can I get dual-colored turn signal bulbs?

Does anybody know where I can get those bulbs that are dual-colored? As in, when it's not on, they're a light bluish color & when they're turned on, they're amber? I'm about to have my headlights cleared-out & I'd like to use these in the headlight otherwise, I'll just stick to amber bulbs for my turn signals. If it helps, they're called the 7440 bulbs. Thanks!

OK, I just found out that Osram makes them, however I don't know if they're available in the 7440 shape or not. It's called the Osram Diadem. Please help.

I think Phillips makes something similar...

Also, I've heard people on other boards talk about painting the amber bulb silver so it looks and works correctly...

Just food for thought... sorry I can't help more.

Thanks for the help. Yeah, I just found out also that it's called the Philips Silver Vision. I can't a dealer for either of them now.

The Philips Silver Vision bulbs only fit bayonet type turn signal housings as found in the Japenese Spec lights. They do not have an application for the 7440 bulb, yet.

I sprayed mine. It worked great - no obvious reduction in luminosity when lit - and it only cost me $1 for the silver spray can. I also swapped over to clear side markers and sprayed the bulbs in there too. It makes a definite improvement.
