Does anyone know where i can find red light bulbs to put into the cab lights, i have the smoked lenses from summit racing but i was wondering if i could find a red light bulb somewhere.

It's illegal to have forward facing red bulbs. FYI

Would those be considered upward.

Your not allowed to see anything red standing in front of the vehicle and cab lights you can see. It would be cool looking though

I have red LED's in the grille for almost 6 months and i havent been pulled over, ive talked to many of the local cops and most of them didnt even know it was a law, but really from what they told me unless you get a really p.o.ed cop thats trying to make quota.

The best thing I have found to do this is a few thick coats from a red sharpie. I got this from a cop who used it on his interior lights for writing reports and not blinding him from seeing out of his car. I had the red bulbs and they are just coated with a thin plastic film that peeled off after a few hours of us. The best solution would be a red led but the sharpie has worked for me for several years and hasn't peeled off or faded.
