either get model paint (transparent) and paint them, source them from another state, or change your tail lights lol

www.srsauto.com I believe is what you're after. They should be able to ship interstate. In fact, you should be able to find somewhere local. :)

I went on a mission all around town Yesterday, absolutely EVERYwhere... and i couldnt find none anywhere. They said if i paint them, they will blow, cause it contains the heat inside the bulb.

ill ring SRS tomorrow Thanks

well depend what type of quality bulb you have i think, generally the heat will cause the paint to dry/melt off but you can repaint it haha... get a new globe if it blows :P

i had the same on my ek.. my normail lightbulbs were sprayed with hobby paint (came in a little spray can)

most red LED lights are single filament, which means in my car worked excellent as taillights, but didnt work as brake lights.

i was using bulbs that looked like they were coated in chrome but acually light up red. Also had orange bulbs of the same type. Was using them in the fully white frosted lense tail lights in my accord.
