Same deal here.. but its not afterthoughts fault.. the bulbs are from APC and give of a "pinker" light.. i dont know if i would call it actually pink but its not as red as it could be.

Buy some translucent red paint and paint the blub

Nobody else i know of makes them and i didnt feel it looks that bad..

I dont know about you guys but I have an Lt1 and i changed my rear side markers and just left the clear bulb in there. I think it looks better. Just my opinion. I do think it is illegal though, but I dont care.

I'm running blue bulbs in my rear and front. I like how they look compared to amber/red.

Both clear and blue would look cool but both are as illegal as heck also..

Maybe the LED route...

They're acutally pink because it's an APC insider joke to make the ricers look
