clear bulb but red filament... does it exist?

[OoMesKoO 10+ year member]

Im looking for some taillight bulbs for a new set of tails i just bought. There ALL clear, with a carbon fiber style casing. But, the taillight bulbs are all clear. Im just asking to get pulled over. Does anyone know if they make bulbs that appear clear, until the light is on, then they light up red? Also, where can i get them?

i would imagine the only way to pull this off would be with some LED's.

outside of that, the only thing i can think of would be a bulb with a red shell.

I had a set of LED's in my old truck that were like that. http://superbrightleds.com/led_prods.htm

I saw some ******* the other night who had clear lenses and put those cheap red paint coated bulbs in. When it lit up, it was bright white. I wanted to get out at the intersection and beat his *** since at night it blinds people behind him. stupid *** redneck.

If they do it with orange turn signal bulbs I'd imagine there's red ones out there somewhere, too.
