Question about red taillight bulbs

Hey my friend just did the all clear taillights on his car, and he wants to know where he can buy red bulbs so he can have red taillights rather then the white ones that he has right now, any suggestions? help? thanks.

Sam.

These are the only clear tails I know of for Maximas.... either way, they are illegal, and not to mention, downright hideous.....

But that's just my opinion....

I have em on my car, but painted the top half red to make them less illegal. They are still illegal as they do not have a red reflector, since i just sprayed the paint into the housing from the light socket. But they are a whole lot more red....Sammzway even with red bulbs, with a headlight shining on the taillight its nearly impossible to see braking or anything. Give it a shot shining a light on it and youll see what i mean. Testors Transparent Candy Apple Red paint is the way to go, trust me.
