I am being hassled by the local police about the whitness of the bulbs on my corner tails. Anyone know where i can get red bubls from? I thought the red reflector would be enough but i guess not. Thanks in Advance......

The red bulbs suck, they usually look orange. Get some red LED's. You can get them from most parts stores

What kind of LEDs am I getting exactly? I know that our number is 2057, so do i give them that number and ask for the LED replacement?

Not all the red bulbs suck. I have red bulbs in my clear tails and they look bright red. They were $10/bulb, I've had them for 2 years and they haven't faded. The local speed shop I bought them from went out of business, but I still have the packages for them, so I'll see what brand they are tonight when I get home and post it for ya. But I'm sure the LED's you can buy at AutoZone cost about the same.

When you buy the LED bulbs (which is the best to do) get a 1157, it is more common and wont harm anything. It fits right in the place of the 2057. But if I was you I wouldnt get the APC ones which are usually what the autoparts stores carry. Get them from a local custom shop or off of eBay. They shouldnt be anymore than $15.
