Im thinking about buying some tinted rear lights (red)
From what i've seen the indicators, and reverse light show red too. If i were to buy the right coloured bulbs would they still shine red because of the tinting spray on the lights?

reverse arent legal requirement so are negligible
buy orange bulbs though should be fine
also ensuring the reflecor is fully visible to
but both would still have a red /pink tint to them, paticulalry the reverse lights

From what I think I remember reading on here, green bulbs in the indicators make them orange again.
Reverse as said isn't a legal requirement so not a biggy. Would imagine LED bulbs in those may help.

TBH i dont think different coloured bulbs work.Also it depends how thick the tint spray has been applied.

problem with green bulbs is they tend not to be very bright and with leds you need resistors aswell
a mate has red tinteds on his corrado and even with leds they look like flashing brake lights. its only at night they marginally look orange
