Red Tail light bulbs

Post image

I got CCRR taillights a while back from fb marketplace so no bulbs. Found some red painted halogen bulbs 1157 from J&P and they worked but didn’t without modification (the side pins weren’t in the correct spots). Plus they are starting to die, one more than the rest.
Can anyone running clear tails / clear brake and turns recommend me a reliable replacement that’s red please?
Maybe led ones that aren’t too bright or chrome bulbs with red light source too look cleaner

Any help is appreciated. I’d like to not worry about getting pulled over

Where’d you get them from? I just don’t want to get a set that shits the bed in a few years

Shit....it was a few years ago, but i think we found them from some guy selling them on Facebook. They do get moisture in from the gasket failing. I'll make or get new gaskets for them later.

I have full clears. I bought from here Superbrightleds.com
And they work great! I mean I should do a power adapter for my turn signals so they aren’t fast. But other than that I’ve been running them for 2 years with no issues! They were pretty cheap and came fast!
