Silver turn indicator bulbs???
Somewhere, on one of the links, I saw that someone had silver, front turn indicator bulbs. Which looked completely silver when viewing the front of the truck. Who, what and where did you buy them?? Oh, and how nucho dinero??

Don't spend the money.....
Go to home depot and get some high temp silver paint. And give the bulbs a very very light dusting. You can make about 5 sets of silver bulbs using this method for the same cost as the ones on ebay. I have always done this. The paint has never cracked or melted, and the bulb is still as bright (just make sure you give it a very light dusting - just enough to cover the orange).

^I've done that before with silver paint when the bulbs were more hidden behind clear parking lenses. But on our F-150's, the front bulbs are out in the open and I rather just spend the $5 plus shipping on ebay to get the silver bulbs that have a nice shiny mirror like finish on them, rather than just spray painted. Looks much better IMO.
