Towing mirroir replacment leds

Has any one seen a kit to change the five amber led bulbs to red? Because its the only amber lights on my truck.

Be more specific. What LED's? The mirror's directionals? I would not screw with those- they are a specific color for a reason. Federal law prohibits changing vehiclular colors I believe. I had a friend who thought it would be cool to pur green turn signals in his car. 10 mile later.... bad idea

I think you could change the color as long as it is red (anything not factory is reason to pull you over, keep in mind). I haven't seen them changed and I could only guess the lens is amber and the LEDs are clear even though clear LEDs are a little more expensive to make, at least they were a few years ago. I think if your brave, take apart the mirrors and see if the leds are indeed clear, get some red plexiglass and fab up a new lens. I myself like the amber because it differs from most mirror turns like chevys and such.
