    Do a search on horn lights.

    It's just a small wedge base bulb that you can get anywhere. The lens is clear, so the bulb provides the color. Take one out and bring it with you in the store and find something like it in the color you want. I think new they were some sort of green color, but I'm not sure, it was so long ago.

    I've been using red for about ten years now-


    Red or blue may be illegal where you live, but I've been pulled over by cops lots of times and they never bothered me about 'em.

    PM jdm monkey if you're interested in LEDs, I believe he has a kit that he sells for about $15 that includes LEDs for the dome light.

    Well, yes. But I'm not an aggressive driver or drive it like I stole it. I mostly get caught doing ~60 in a 45 zone on smaller state routes. PA cops including state cops always knock it down to 5 over the limit, unless you're a total a-hole about it or you were doing 90 in a 45. That way you don't get any points on your record and it doesn't affect your insurance. You mail out a check the next day for ~$115 and everything is cool, like it never happened. That's a pretty good deal.
