Default Red corner lenses

I was sitting here thinking about stuff you don't see. I want to go with a black/red theme (over played but I can understand why). I was curious to see what others opinions were about red corners. I don't think anyone makes them, and I don't know how to go about it. I don't know if VHT makes a red lens paint like they do the black out. Anyhow I had this idea and wondered if anyone else has....

Do you mean the front TS housing?

If so, it would look great but reds at the front would be illegal.

Never thought about putting red lenses in the front. I agree - would probably be a legal issue in your state.

I don't go too far in my vette, as its not my daily. Plus Im going to keep my originals and by some clear corners and go over them with some transparent red paint and smooth them out like vht. I think it will look good.

That was the only thing I liked about OK. No inspections no emissions tests no nothing. Oh yeah I also liked the long straight roads out in the middle of no where.
