Default sidemarker question, called for a thread

i figured id start a thread since the post i first put this on is over and done with, but wut about red lenses instead of amber for the front sidemarker lamps, on my TA? anyone know where i can get them? ya know, kinda like the rear red lenses on a trans am, but the smaller versions to fit up front! i think the ones camaros have on their rear bumpers are the exact size of the amber lens sidemarkers of the trans am.. anyone know about it?

the rears are the same on t/a's and camaros. No one makes a front side marker in red. You can get clear corners and put red bulbs up front and get red lights in the front.

I believe red lights up front are illegal in all states, and definetly in Europe. I had to go clear corners because park lights have to be white/yellow instead of the stock orange/amber.

I know that some camaro owners did that to their tails so that they looked all red, but I'm Not sure if you can do it on the side markers. It might work, but I'm not sure what type of paint they used.

edit...PM DEMONBIRD on this board and ask him what he used on his tails, he's one of the camaro owners that made his tails all red

The rear side marker on a Camaro is actually the same as the front of a 98+TA. I saw clear ones on a few sites and the camaro rear and TA front are the exact same part #
