Customizing 2004 Beetle

[Winterlaurel]

I currently own a 2004 New Beetle... Her name is 'Bubble Monkey'... I am going to have her painted a metallic/slightly pearly true pink... I am also wanting to customize different things though... Can anyone help me find/make the following:

Pink LEDs (I only find blue, red, blablabla... regular colors)
Pink neon license plate border
Heart-shaped Headlights (I really want to make them this shape)*
Heart-shaped lights for the back
Pink Headlight Bulbs (Are these even legal, by the way?)

I would REALLY REALLY REALLY appreciate any help in finding companies or people to help with this.

Hearts,
Winter Laurel Mullenix

PS - please email me if you know anything!!!

If you know how to wire LED's and you're not looking for an assembled product, you can go to http://www.mouser.com and order red and blue LED's. I don't know of any pink ones, but you can make pink light by mixing red and blue (Just mount them side/side). If you don't want to do that, you'll need to tint a clear material pink and shine through it somehow.

Pink headlights are most likely illegal in your area.

I don't know about the other stuff.

Rather than asking people to email you, just check the box that will email you when people reply.

Plus, HOLY CRAP COULD YOU MAKE IT ANY MORE GIRLY??

Well, all of my friends do say that I am the girliest girl they know! Hahaha!!!... Ummm... *scratches her head* I could make it girlier, but it would just get plain gawdy after a certain point, you know? *giggle*

Do you know anybody that may know where I can find the things I desire?

Hearts,

This forum is pretty dead, I've found..

Here is a rather extensive vendor list:
http://www.vanagon.com/vendors/#vw

I'm digging through for some totally unrelated stuff, but I'll look for that kind of thing as I go. I've seen pink neon license plate holders, so they do exist, but I don't know where. Have you contacted a large auto parts chain to see if they could order something for you?

EDIT:

Bingo, if you're not dead-set on hearts, you can get daisies here ( http://www.aiwana.com/beetlebits.htm ) and have them painted pink (professionaly would be best, but it is possible to get good results with easily obtained spraypaints). There are other sites that sell similar products.

I should mention that if you don't mount the LED's under a dash or something, they won't look pink. Only the light will be pink, looking up at the LED's you're going to be able to clearly tell it's just red/blue lights. If they are out of view then the pink light will be visible.
