    Hi folks,

    I have got myself a set of red/smoked/red rear lights (modified not original). The indicators are flashing red so I thought buying orange bulbs would cure it but they are still clearly flashing red instead of orange. Does anyone have any advice on making the cluster display orange when using indicators. I really like the look of them and would like to keep them on the car. At the same time, I won’t keep them on if it means unwanted attention from police.

    Cheers,

    Paul

    Shouldn't the indicator be flashing in the smoked section?

    I can’t believe this. The fella who did the lights just got back to me and said all I have to do is use green bulbs! Red and green makes orange! Just ordered some off eBay.

    Thanks to all above for your responses.

    Paul.
