Rapid Parts(though I hate to reccomend them for any reason) has them for sure. The local Pep Boys here sells the kits with purple bulbs for ~$15, but stay away, they are crap. The bulbs to use(and you can see what they look like on Rapid's site) are about the size of the tip of your pinky(this is, of course, relative). 12V 5W metal based bulb. If you are having a hard time finding them in colors, buy clear ones, and used colored permanent markers(you pick your color) to "dye" them. Works a charm. Actually, if you use a permanent marker on the already colored ones, they tend to have a deeper hue. This is more important on the red ones, as they can appear orange.
