I believe we can get red glass bulbs, but they are quite expensive, so
most people opt for the cheaper alternative. I will find out a price
for you if I can get them. The LED lights are not available in a 3157
size bulb yet. Also, if your brake and turn signal are the same bulb
they don't work. It gets confused. When applying the brake and using
the turn signal at the same time, the LED lights start flickering in a
weird way. Originally these were designed for motorcycles in Japan.
The only application availalbe is an 1157 push 'n' twist.
