If you wanted to you could tape them off and spray them with a can of Nightshade. Looks good.

I think there is a vendor that sells them with the C5 logo (where the light shines through). Or you can look on the big auction site, I know I have seen them there.

I found some Red LED lights on the auction site that work much better.
They are the rectangular ones with several LED's in them, they come with several connectors one of which fit the socket for the side lights.
I then used some clear double sided 3M tape and mounted them.
They are now very bright and the light is now even across the emblem

Tinted mine all the way around, front, side, and rear, including reverse lights, used three clear coats on them, and I think they look great.

LOL, when I first saw your avatar, I thought it was one of those "Object in mirror is losing," until I noticed you were on the shoulder of the highway.

Hope the LEO didn't give you a hard time...

I saw someone selling a pair that light up with the bat symbol on the auction site! If you are into that.
