I'm running cleared out rears, and that tiny 194 bulb which is supposed to be red is not. It looks pink. I dont know where I got the bulb from, but its probably just a painted bulb. but where can I get one that is actually red.. or maybe even a LED replacement... any ideas?

 

how about dipping the bulbs in some red light bulb paint. my friend does this with his s10.

 

where do u get that paint??? i tried some stuff from hobby lobby that was for stained glass but um lets just say it didn't work....

 

Pink taillights, this sounds familiar....

 

but in the fact that the lenses are truly clear. They are actually white (and white and red make pink), since they are molded that way with etching in them. '97+ models have "clear" headlights...in that case, putting in red bulbs would produce "red" light. That's why all those punks driving around in those Civics that have completely white tailights, have pink light at night.

 

Buy a LED from radio shack and put plug it in. This should be more RED.

 

Hmm, now heres an idea. Funny part is I work at radio shack. Its worth a try I guess. Most the LED's I have seen have pretty narrow viewing patterns though. Anyway I gotta first figure out what resistor to use so I dont melt the LED when I apply 12 volts to the beast.

 

The heat from the bulb will actually fade the color of the bulbs, it has done it with mine. But, if they are relatively new, then I have no idea. For my reverse lights, I painted them blue using Testors model car paint. Works great, but i needed to repaint them after about 8 months.
