lol Ive had the car for 4-5 months now and I just now finally noticed it.

I was wondering if its legal to change the colour of those lights? maybe make the plate light up yellow(I think that would looks pretty pimp) And if so whats the bulb number on them?

You can fashion some transparent, coloured plastic overlays to change the colour...mine were red, but I didn't like the look, bit too flashy....worked well, though.

I just swapped out the bulbs with red bulbs bought from AutoZone. Cost me like 3 bux and it looks really clean. The red tail lights with the red LP lights looks very clean on the black car. And as long as you can see the LP at night then its legal. (I cant figure out how to post pics from my computer to here. . . )
