They are red.
The cap is called a "Injector top cap"
The dealer is looking at VG30E injectors, they have a blue/black dot on them,
Make sure you specify you have a VE30DE engine when buying parts.

How do you get the injectors in the rail easily?? Can you use a different lube than gas on the top big oring on the injector to get it in the rail? I just screwed the cap down little by little to get the injector in the rail and it pinched the orings again and broke the two caps. Whats the trick to get the injector in the rail easily??

Yeah dude, you got to lube up both upper and lower o'rings with Vaseline before installing them into the rail..That's why you have been pinching o'rings..
I still fail to understand how you broke the injector caps..

If i lube it will the injector just push into the fuel rail?? and will the vaseline effect my gas cause it will get in it?? I broke the injector top caps because i couldnt get the injector all the way(no lube) in the rail so i just started screwing it down little by little switching screws and it broke.

there is a LOT of pressure coming out of those injectors, enough to push any vaseline (I believe they mean the petroleum jelly, not the hand moisturizer creamsm to make sure that is clear)out of the injector tip, and burn off somewhere in the engine. any "negative" consequences of using it will be gone a few seconds after running the newly installed injectors.
