Default Those with R/C/R taillights on UCF-20.
The 7440 (7443) red bulb that they send you is really "pink" looking at night. I was more interested in getting a higher quality 7440 (7443) red replacement bulb, but places like Checker, O'Reilly, and Napa dont sell the 7440 (7443) in red, just clear. Im having a hard time finding a just a plain red bulb on the net. There are alot of "led" bulbs available, but i dont want that. Where else should i look.

I just ordered the rear tail lights as well. How did you do the turn signals? And do you know the model number?

Did you find them yet? Mine are also pink. I dipped them in hi-temp paint so they would not illuminate through the clear portion of the tail lights. Lemme know if you found an alternative - pink

Looks like they offer 7440 no fade red from Japan. Maybe these would work? Probably would be best to remove the current bulb to make sure?

A note about the LED taillights. They have had them for awhile, just really hard to find. But make sure you buy "quality" ones and not the cheaper version. If you're interested in finding a quality set let me know.

At least we know they exist. They're all over the VIP magazines so I'm sure someone in Japan can get them for you. Maybe ask someone on VSC?

Yeah I had to fuss with the site - not easy by any means. I had to click browse catalog / ultra white, color bulbs ad then scroll down to the part number LB7440RJ - I want to order them but almost don't want to given the fact it is a PITA If you find them elsewhere shoot me a PM.
