Default Possible to change the blinker bulb in headlight/tailight?

I just changed my turn signals... but it looks silly unlocking my car and having uv/orange... Is there a website that sells colored bulbs?

Possibly varies by state - but I believe you're correct.

Definitely no red up front though. Big no-no.

Why does it look silly with the stock bulbs? I'm not sure about legality; red seems plausible as stated above, but anything else is 1) illegal, and 2) stupid. It's a blaring color for a reason lol

if you wanna rice out on colors why not stick to interior lights hm?

correct, in all states, it has to be amber or white, and for the rear, red is allowed. other than that, you're risking fines and impounding of your car.

what do you mean lame? how about getting some LED one's with an LED flash controller and make it look good.

I switched my lights in the back to a silver chrome so it wasn't orange anymore.
