Default Philips Silvervision WY21W Where to Buy?

After some ringing around I have found out that Philips are no longer selling the WY21W bulbs. I have also confirmed that the Silvervision PY21W are not a direct replacement and WILL NOT fit a Subaru for de-tango purposes.

does anyone know anywhere that still stocks them? If not, what would be a good alternative which is the Silertec bulbs which dont flash bright enough.

Thanks

This is the seller I used last for the last set of Phillips Silver Vision - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3004481763...fvi%3D1&_rdc=1
Looks as though he's sold out mind!

I got a set of these a couple of weeks ago for the rear indicators - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT
A whole lot cheaper & they're spot on!

Both are a direct replacement

Cheers
Iggy

Like I say, i've put these XTEC silver wedge bulbs in the rear of my RB, as I couldn't get hold of any more Phillips Silver Vision!
They've been in a couple of weeks now & they are no different, at all.... to the much higher pricer Phillips!

They get a thumbs up from me!

PY21W = classic fitment.
WY21W = newage fitment.

Didn't know Phillips had stopped making the WY21W though.

Was told today buy a retailer that Philips have stopped manufacturing them. The PY21W's DO NOT fit the newage cars. I cant comment on the classics.

Philips do not manufacture a new 'version' of the WY21W.

Havent been stocked for weeks, if not months.

Will the Xtec bulbs work for the front indicators? I want to go for a de tango this weekend and hope they fit.

Are they legal though? The very reason I dont want to go with Silvertec are because of the dim light.
