Anyone know of a place that sells a RED LED equivelent of 3057 Tail/Stop/Turn lightbulb, the police here insist my clears arent red enough and my red incandecent bulbs wont cut it so i figure a red led will show red better than the cheaply colored incandecents i have now Thanks in advance

APC makes a replacement set, at least they did. Pep Boys carries them in stock sometimes, along with all the import junk. Was looking to get a set myself. They certainly are brighter.

speaking of LEDs, has anyone else outside of SD gotten those LED traffic signals? here they've got the green and red lights set up as a group of LEDs. really clear and bright. they're easy to tell because there is no cover over the group, so up close (couple feet) you can see all the little bulbs. Just wondering if we're that far ahead, or in pace...

1989 F-150 : 5.0, shorty headers, Flowmaster cat-back, K&N filtercharger intake, March pulleys, "Multi-brand" performance ignition, soon to be Mass-Air...doesn't know she's not a Mustang

Yeah I got mine from APC, and we've even got those LED traffic lights up here in Canada so you can't be that far ahead. LOL
