i don't think they make a "colored" replacement for thr rear (if thats what your looking for) and the fronts are 197 (i think) push in bulbs. those come in any color you want. An easy way to color your dome lights is to use a sheet of colored plastic (like a clear plastic folder) and cut it out in the shape of the dome light lens.

na dont do the clear pastic folder....go to ur local art supply store and ask for a sheet of acidtate (sp?) It is the stuff they use for spot lights....they are also known as spot light gells. Pick out ur color...they shine true to thier color. Then cut them out. Unlike the folder they will not melt when the bulbs get hot. And acidtate only cost like 2 bucks for a huge sheet. I splt it with 3 friends and still had enough left over to do like 3 more cars. The stuff is awesome!
