Procarparts isn't actually the manufacture. These too are manufactured overseas. We're actually in the process of becoming a distributor of their full line of C5 Lights. We expect to be able to bring these into stock around this time next month. I have no idea of price at this time, being that you first need to be approved as a distributor before they'll offer such information. But I'm betting that we'll be able & willing to offer them at the lowest prices found

The LED themselves are Red. They look clear to the naked eye, but light up Red. We stock Red, White and Amber LEDs. We're constanly plugging them into a bench power source to confirm color prior to shipping, because you can't visually see the difference until lighted.

rich!

have one of the manufacturers make a halo-style euro LED tail setup.

have the amber lights incorporated in the tail somehow. maybe 3 to 5 of them similar to the signal mirror:

i'd be the 1st in line for those!
