hey if any of you guys out there have or want those old style clear tail lamps not alteezas. I have acheep and simple solution to making you own red bulbs i have found that if you use your old bulbs (the wedge ones) to make a set of four red bulbs, it caqn save you some money.
what I did way get some Testors model paint and dip each bulb in there to give them a coat of red paint let the excess drip back into the bottle then ket dry and BAAM!! there you go a nice looking set of red bulbs for the the low low price of $3.75 it works and it matches the LED red Hue all you have to do is buy a set of red LEDs and your set.
instead of paying $16 a bulb (like here in canada) you can buy the cheap ones for like a dollar
Testors paint # 1103
and 12v wedge bulbs
thats all it takes people
