I want clear side markers and blinkers. I want the lights to be red. Do they make a red bulb just like the amber ones? Direct replacement?

Not a 100% certain but they should. I know autozone sells all sorts of colors for the sidemarker bulbs like grean and blue and stuff.

So im not a headlight buff but i bought some h4 conversion headlights online that came with bulbs and has the city lights. Well i installed them this weekend. Now the place i bought them from the description said projector headlights and i did notice a more defined cutoff. Some my question is are these the type of projectors that u can install true hids in without the annoying (and illegal) scatter pattern

Really? I don't doubt your vast knowledge but that strikes me as odd, because my Ford and my Lincoln have all red lights from factory: blinkers, stop lights and hazard lights....I had never heard of that law before.
If we were overseas then I would agree with you, they have yellow marker lights not red. The TUV (similar to state inspections) put a round red reflector on top of a factory red reflector on my mini-van b/c I had red blinkers and not yellow, not the brightest bunch, but you can't even wash a car there on Sunday's so go figure.

I also agree, in Michigan you can get pulled over for having Red and or Blue bulbs. I got pulled over for my Blue LED housing lights. All I did was blend the LEDS in with my HID lights. Now I don't have a problem. I also have Purple/Black lights on my lanterns on my Hearse and haven't had a problem. *KNOCK ON WOOD*!

Any forward facing red lights in Illinois require a fine for impersonating an emergency vehicle. I had a buddy get pulled over for red corners.. cop made him remove the bulbs, and gave him a ticket for non-functioning turning indicators.
Im sure they make red bulbs, to put in rear lights. But, you'll surely get in trouble for red in the front

Roger that. Too bad. The H2 i saw with them looked rad that way. My jeep looks rad anyway though. No biggie.

Think that's bad? I went to Autozone yesterday, and the parts monkey argued with me.
Me: "I need a coolant reservoir for my '88 Jeep Comanche."
Idiot: "I don't see that in my system, so Jeep must not have used a coolant system in '88. That's an old vehicle, things have changed."
