Default Rear inner brake lights?

Anyone have some laying around they are wanting to part with? I can't post in the classified section yet because of my post count I'm assuming and I don't want to spam the board with senseless posts just to get it up. I've already been pulled over by a cop for it and I want to avoid the hassle soonest. Not looking for fancy LED or anything just OEM tails. There are some on eBay but I'm just not sure.

Admins feel free to delete if I violated any other rules.

Whats wrong with yours? Has the red faded? You can buy red tint or red spray tint and gloss them over. Or as you said, the ebay ones (not sure what you meant by "but I'm not sure")

Also, you can buy bulbs that output red light.

I am not sure what major manufacturers sell 7440s, but I know Phillips and Sylvania have brake lights, and they are reasonably priced for how long they are supposed to last.

Yes they are pink to the point where it looks like my reverse lights are on when I brake lol. I tried the red over lay and it didnt work. With the lights being round, I couldn't get them on there good enough. Even tried to heat them. And I'm just skeptic of eBay period.

I'll try the Red bulbs while I wait to find them. I appreciate it!

If you're in Southern California, near Long Beach to be exact, I will swap your set for a set that I have. They're red and in good condition. I only need a pair to open apart so I can do some LED modifications. Let me know.
