Red side marker lights?

Just wondering if anyone had replaced the front orange side marker lights/reflectors with red ones....I like the way the red rear ones look on my black 2k, but don't like the orange in front...the clear/white ones are cool, but not really my style. Think the red ones in front would look pretty tight.Has anyone done this or know if red side marker lights are available for the front? If so, post pics. thx.

Yeah thought about that...just worried it will look bad if its not exactly the same red as the rear ones....

Get clear front and back and paint them both...they will match, not sure how they will look tho.

good luck

I think you might have some problems with the police if you have red lights on the front half of your car.. seeing as its illegal and all..

actually it is illegal and has been talked about before. WAY TO MUCH!!!
clears are illegal too. car must have amber front side and red rear side "reflectors" not just lights.
