    Ebay, search for l.e.d sidelight bulbs in the colour you want.

    As for fog light bulbs, you can get blue tint ones, they are bulb type H1

    the bulbs are pretty cheap on ebay and do last very well. also look good too, imo.

    Any red or blue bulbs are very illegal in the front lights as it can be seen to be immitating an emergency vehicle. £30 fine for sure, or a potential court summons for extreme offenders

    but here this is what mine looked like...all i can say is make sure u do get led's because bulbs let white out and it blends with the colout and you will end up with pink, or like me baby blue

    i think you will find they are very very very illegal m8... you can only have white upfront!! and red in the rear, why do you think so many people get fined for having there rear lights tinted to much even tho you can stil make it out!?
