Red top injectors?
So over the weekend I pulled the injectors on my truck(03 6.0) and cleaned the spool valves new o ring ect because they where sticking. Truck runs much better now the question I had though is the top of the injectors (the plastic part that holds the wires) is red all the pictures I have seen they are black. So could they be after market injectors stock or bigger or is this just a coincidence. I know some one has been in this motor before me because I had to remount the turbo because it only had one bolt in it and the turbo stand had none and the egr cooler hose is blue not orange. Anyone have any ideas or comments on this?

The plastic clip is red or the coil plastic?

Plenty of dark yellow, never seen red though on either one.

I wouldn't just go with stock photos on O'Reilly or Auto Zone websites when talking about companies like that.
