I know Stylin' Concepts carries colored bulbs. I'm not sure if some of the site sponsors do as well but it might be worth looking into. If you really want LED's you could use APC's LED bulbs, which glow red. Two things about the LED bulbs though, the light intensity doesn't increase much from normal when you put your brakes on and if you use the LED's in the turn signal position you will need some sort of load equalizer because your flashers will blink too fast.

Running the red covers work good and they don't burn off like the typical painted bulbs... Good luck man, We can't really run those out here in CA, unless we get some crazy lookin ones with all this red reflective crap in them....
