Red parking lights

So I'm a little ridiculous with red and black. Is there anyway I would be able to make my parking lights red? It's pretty much the only thing on my car that is not red or black... I'm not really even sure if it's legal or not but hey not like that's the only thing on my car that would be illegal. So if you guys have any ideas it would be most appreciated

Assuming you are talking the front park lights.

[LECTURE]
Your 5% tint may get overlooked, your louder than stock intake and exhaust may get ignored, your nite shaded tails may get a pass - but cops take serious exception to impersonation of a peace officer.
[/LECTURE]

That said, you could find some led replacement bulbs in red, as long as they fit a 3157 socket.
Something like these maybe?

And if anyone asks, I never heard of you

been there...do not go red. It WILL get you pulled over and you WILL get a ticket. I had red blinkers in one of my old cars. Got away with it for about a month, then got an "impersonating an emergency vehicle" ticket. If you want it that bad, get red LED's and mount them inside the headlights and only turn them on when ur not moving

I thought so... damn that's lame. Thank you though guys
I might have to get some red LEDs and mount them on the inside then. cause I still want to be able to drive without getting pulled over all the time.
Or maybe I should just find some 10000 k HIDs to take their place. even if they blink super fast lol

Why dont you just put in clear bulbs?, then youll have all white in the front.

Red lights in the front is a big no-no, its illegal and a little silly, red lights go in the rear, everyone knows that

Well, ive got opinions both ways. Ive had a guy in a blacked out protege get pulled over for having all red parking lights/turn signals a couple times right by my work, so its obvious that the cops dont take it so lightly. On the other hand, ive been running my 3rd gen projectors with the 3 led's at the bottom being red for a good 2 years now with no problems whatsoever. I guess my led's probably arent as noticeable as having the parking lights red, but maybe u can try and incorporate something like that. Maybe try doing a custom project like hailceasar did.... idk man either way do what u like
