Default Where do you all buy Silverstars?

I'm looking to get Silverstars for my Trans Am, both high and low beam, but I can't find anywhere that has them. I'm looking for 4701 and 4703 lights. I've tried Advance Auto, Autobarn, Parts America, Autooptiks, etc, all to no avail! Where have you all bought them? Other than Silverstars and HIDs (too expensive for me now) what other headlight options are out there for TAs? Thanks in advance.

Ebay doesnt have anything for 98-02. We'll have to check walmart or autozone not sure where the closest autozone is though. Thanks.

The Silverstar doesn't come in 4701/03. .........

You can do what I did was to buy the conversion kit and use the H7 Silverstars

Mustang5.Ohater is correct, Sylvania does not make SilverStar in 4701/4703.

The Camaro uses 9005/06



The Trans Am uses the 4701/03 which is a sealed capsule.

I have HID conversion lamps on my camaro, this is for my gf's car we just want brighter then the stock halogen junk. Ive had silverstars in my car before and it sufficed for over a year. Weve already upgraded the fog lights with some better halogens which are almost pure white we just want better for the headlights. HID kits are expensive. So are quality conversion housings...

So it looks like the only option for brighter lights are conversion housings to run H type bulbs like the 98-02 camaros and practically any other car on the road...

Its just kinda funny and rediculous a 2000 model year car still came with sealed headlamps make that 2002...

Thanks for the help. I think the eurolights housings are cheap enough to where I will just get those. It seems like the most logical thing to do.
