Default red front turn signals?????

Does someone have pictures of the red
front turn signals-running day lights (not side markers) of a Trans Am? Are they Legal? I just want to see how they look because i just ordered some. even if they aren't legal as long as they look nice on the TA.

Not legal. Red is only allowed on the back of the car. At least in ohio if you have red flashing on the front you can get in trouble for "imitating an emergency vehicle"

Check your state laws, but ohio says nothing but yellow/amber and white in front.

I had did this on my bird about a year ago. just switched out the 1157 amber bulbs for red ones. I can honestly say it looks kick ***, cept my turn signal lenses are cracked so it kept letting water seap in and blow the bulbs. And get this.. I put ambers back in and they never blow, only if Im drivin in a HEAVY down pour its possible but rare, but every single time I put red bulbs in after 1 or 2 rain storms they will blow.. after 3 sets at 6 bucks a pop I finally said screw it and stuck with amber.

I do think in EVERY US state that ambers are the only color your allowed to have. Pretty much when a car comes from factory then thats what you gotta have because Factory Specs are Law Bideing Specs. But you know the routine.. Laws are made to be broken and usually are

I fogged over my corners on my old truck and durango with candy apple red i got from the model car section in walmart, and then cleared it. It turned out really good, and looked a little red compared to the old amber, but not much. Had it on there for 2 years and haven't had any trouble yet.
