Looks like this might be a European thing.

I can easily locate lots of them here, but not so easy in the US.

Here's a Ba9s style one from amazon UK:

That may be due to the early four pin flasher 2511 originally came with; it has been converted to a three pin and rewired to retain its function. That bulb originally received its ground through the four pin flasher but with the conversion it is simply grounded to the chassis.
