Yeah, if I had bought normal incandescent bulbs. I bought red LED's.

Red in parking lights....that sounds oh so familiar

^ I didn't know about the aftermarket tails having a different socket type. I'll have to look into that.

Well actually, some do, some don't. Ya gotta look at them to see if the holes in the back are smooth edged(circuit board/3157 type), or if the holes have notches for the twist-in socket that holds the 1157. I personally like the 1157 better, because there's no way for the bulb to vibrate out of it's socket because it's locked in place. A 3157 is just pushed in.

Wait a sec, RED in the parking lights? Thought that was illegal, any one got them for pics?

The 'Motor Vehicle Act' here says that front of the vehicle cannot have any other color of lights, other than yellow, or amber, besides the headlights.
Blue or red would be considered imitating an emergency or police vehicle.

That's what i mean. I looked up the laws in Texas, and apparently the parking lights can be any color between Orange/Amber and White and the only other law sortof relating to that is that you have to have reflectors.

It'd be just for show.

yeah, they're the stock esky cluster needles, you should get the same effect by painting yours, just take off the orange, and paint white in its place...I also used a different LED, I used the WLED-XHP5's in the cluster, I like them alot better than the standard x5's
