well i spent hours yesterday looking for red brake light bulbs for my safari (1157-r i think). anyways i checked all hardware stores that had an automotive section. i tried wal mart, crappy tire, uap, ummmmm, i think that's it.
so tonight i thought i'd check out ebay. thinking i may find a pack of them for half cheap. nope. none. all i could find were led's. anyone know any "bulb suppliers"?

Re: brake light bulbs
Do you have clear corners? I've always just used standard clear bulbs in mine.

Re: brake light bulbs
If you have still got the original red tailight lenses, your bulbs will be clear, if you have clear lenses (aftermarket) you might check with them for red bulbs. or paint them with nail polish.

Re: brake light bulbs
how long would you suspect the nail polish would last?
