People are saying good things about the Philips ones over the Silvertec's. The Silvertec can be very difficult to see on sunny days, whereas the Philips are reported to be as bright and visible as the OE orange bulbs. I have LED's instead which are much better IMHO.

Yep Philips Silvervision from Autobulbs are the ones to get, the other types do not compare.

Don't know about the fronts, would guess at PY21W, best to check your handbook. Sides will be W5W.
