95-96 Red/Clear Tails w/ LEDs

So I purchased the Red/Clear tails from Custom Enterprises, and installed them a few weeks ago. Although I am very happy with the look they give with the car just sitting there, I have noticed that when the lights light up, they look a little on the pink side, especially when the brake pedal is pushed. Obviously, this is an undesirable result. So I was thinking about replacing all the normal clear bulbs in the brake lights with red LED bulbs instead. I would hope this would solve that problem, and give the taillights a better overall look. I have already found some bulbs, but I know from past experience that when you put LEDs into the circuit, because their resistance is not the same, they make the turn signals flash at an annoyingly fast rate. Any thoughts on how the LEDs would look? Any alternatives you guys see? Also, any suggestions on how to prevent the fast flashing if I were to replace the brake light bulbs with LEDs? Thanks in advance guys.

Just change the bulbs to red bulbs or amber bulbs and that should solve the pink issue.
