I would like to exchange my rear yellow plastic over my turn indicators for red plastic.  Does anyone know where I can by the red plastic for rear turn indicators?  I did this with a V-Star I sold.  If changed I will have three brake lights when I put my brakes on.  Thanks for your help.  Ride safe my friends.

As an alternative option I can attest to seeing orange turn indicators being painted over with a candy apple red (from a hobby shop, can't recall the brand right now) and then a clear coat on a friend's bmw, and it looked great, really just blended in with the red rear lights.

Not sure where your from. But in the U.S. can you say ILLEGAL!!!! Only thing on a motor vehicle that can be red are brake lights. Only Fire/ EMS/ and police can have red!

Red turn signals are perfectly legal on the REAR of a motor vehicle in the US (which is what the OP was asking for).
You cannot use red lights or lenses on front or side facing lights. Likewise, the only legal white lights on the rear are the lights that common when you put the cage into reverse.

Btw, from other posts OP has made, I gather that he is in MI, like me.
It seems it has become necessary to qualify my posts:

Select the words that apply to you.
