Yes, I run red colored LED's in all my tail lights as well. However I've converted the front turn signals to yellow LED's and simply swapped over to an electronic flasher I pick up at Napa for a few bucks to make it all work.

That setup has worked great for a few years now in the firebird, chevelle, mustang, camaro etc... I just swap everything over including the side markers.

I just buy the 1157/1156/194 LED bulbs in bulk from Amazon. The ones I like to use are the LED's with projection tips like these.....

I find these are much brighter and show a bigger difference from dim to bright when braking or turn signals are used vs the other style that just has the little squares all around,,,,if that makes sense. I experimented a lot with the LED bulbs before I settled on these projection tip style bulbs. I also found they work better if the colored LED's are used to match the lens they are behind. White LED's tend to bleech out the color.
