Change Rear Turn Signal Bulbs?

Just wondering if there was an easy way to change the rear turn blinkers from orange to red?

Easily, you can pull out the factory bulb holder and swap them with red bulbs. You should be able to source red filament bulbs at any local autoparts store or you can purchase red LED bulbs if you want that output.

Easily, you can install our V2 LED Bulbs in the rear turn signals if you prefer that look.

I went to a bunch of stores today, didn't find anything. Can anyone help me find such bulbs? Clear bulb for rear turn signals with red filament.

It looks like you could use some Motorcyle bulbs for this.

http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/...ode=KURY%2DLED

A. Tru-Sphere L.E.D. Bulbs
These are the best L.E.D. replacement bulbs on the market. Each bulb features 32 mega-bright red or 32 super bright amber L.E.D.s in a completely sealed package. Tru-Sphere's unique design provides full hemispherical illumination; you won't believe the improvement over an incandescent bulb. It's dimensions are the same as a standard 1157 or 1156 incandescent bulb so it can be used as a direct replacement for those applications.

The replacement is a PY21W - 21 watt - which is how the ones on eBay read - and I'm assuming on e92-lighting.com as well and should match the type A LED's.
