All other colored bulbs can be ordered, but they are not included with the clear corners.

So I should not have had my head-in-my-azz when I ordered and informed you I needed them eh? Actually I didn't know any better at the time, live-n-learn. Got that back-ordered tie-down BTW (installed), thanks.

Hey Steve, do you know how the red bulbs you guys carry looks with the clears? I know most of the red bulbs seem to give off a "pinkish" color.

Is there anyway to minimize the pink??

Red bulbs are always going to appear pink. LEDs would be the only way to get a true red color from the sidemarkers. Either that or take out the bulb completely.

I have been contemplating clears. It would be nice for someone to make a package with 4 clears and the correct color bulbs for the front and rear. LED or conventional, as long as they are amber and red.

Are there any in a tinted or "smoked" color? And if not does anyone know the name of that spray that tints lights?

Hey Pedro, I've been looking for some LED's. I didn't see amber LED's so I assume you got the yellow LED's from midnightmoose?

How do they look w/ the clears?

Thanks

Y2KSESteve, why don't you sell a complete "plug 'n play" package with 2/4 clears and the correct color LED lights? I know most of the guys here allready have clears, but it would make the lazy ones here (myself included) step up and get them. Just a thought.

Good link to bargain LED's. Will have to get some spares from them.

WLED-R Red LED bulb
WLED-A Amber LED bulb

CdDriven:

The colors are great, amber is amber, and red is red with no hint of pink. Not as bright as some high power led's, but I think this is why they hold their color.

Cool, I'll get some LED's from superbrightleds. Good prices too.
I saw they have 2 different LED's for the 194/168 bulbs in our Max.

They have the following:
12 VDC 1 LED
12 VDC 4 LED

Is the 4 LED brighter than 1 LED? Since they're both the same size, I'm wondering if theres a difference in the light output...

Thanks.

The 1 led projects light mainly from the sides (wide angle) , the 4 led straight at you (beam type). I assume the 4 led is a lot brighter. How much and does it affect the color, don't know.

But custom maxima is on the east coast, so shipping is cheaper for us east coasters, such as the guy who started this thread. You are both $54 for all 4, but SWA wants $17.99 s/h where custommaxima.com wants $7.00 s/h. $10.99 cheaper.
