Default Side Mirror Blinker Replacement in Red

I want to replace the amber turn signals in the side mirrors with ones that are red. I've searched online and can't find where anyone makes them.

Does anyone know if they exist? Thanks!!

cheaper option would be to get some red vinyl from www.rvinyl.com and just place it over them. I did so on my GMC tail lights to give them a candied look without the prep work.

I might have to try this since I can't find the actual replacement lens. Seems like with all the aftermarket stuff, someone would make them. Thanks for the suggestion.

Since they are rear facing I don't think he'll have an issue.

Ok, thought he was referring to the reflector on the front of the mirror!

May want to check, pretty sure it doesn't matter which way they are facing here, you can't have red.

The factory turn signals in the mirrors of all my gm trucks were red so I wouldnt think it would matter if these were.

Yeah, Chevy has trucks/SUVs with red turn signals built into side view mirrors. I too was curious as to why Ford is not using red since there are no rear yellow turn signal lights in tail lights. Just front head lights.
