      You might want to check your local laws. Here in Illinois it is illegal to have any lights that are either red or blue on the front half of a vehicle or trailer.

      You could put a blue tint behind the lens and run clear 1157 bulbs instead of the 1157 amber bulbs if you can legally run them.

      Blue bulbs will get you pulled over faster then a one legged man in an ass kickin' contest... Totally illegal.

      I don't really care about the local laws. Most of the local cops are pretty cool and I know more than one that would sign me off of any fix-it-ticket.

      Well then, in that case, get yourself some candy blue model car paint and spray them till they look good color wise.

      I just talked to my buddy and he thinks he knows where i car get them. But, I have to go to an import racing shop to get them. Maybe i will pick up a fart can exhaust tip while i am there...or maybe not!

      this may sound cheesy....on second thought it most certainly sounds cheesy, but I have had good luck with changing bulb colors by just coloring a clear bulb with a sharpie permanent marker. Just make sure you do it evenly or the coloring lines will show. And if you dont like it clean it with paint thinner or equivalent.

      Ummm.... Try Pep Boys or Kragen. I've seen them there before, actually. You should also be able to get them online. Look for bulbs on www.jegs.com to start.
