i doubt that they make them in red but you could find a paint that could make them red at a hobby store , (MAKE SURE IT CAN HANDLE THE HEAT ) you dont want the dash burning ?

I saw another post could possiblly be in the EG forum, but what the guy suggested was to use a red sharpie and color the bulbs. Or you could go to a photo store and get some red gel, the brand is Lee. And I am sure you have some selection as far as the reds go. That's just my suggestion.

Try not to touch the bulb when installing it.

i went to Michaels and bought a nice shade of red ceramic paint. clean em first with alcohol prep pads, dip, and dry. ceramic paints hold up must better than say, a sharpie.
