Lights in Wrong Color Combinations

Bought 5 strands of your C9 red and green Christmas lights. Noticed that there are 2 green bulbs on one end. Changed it out to a red. As I opened the other packages, they are the same. Also to keep the pattern of red, green, red, green and to plug each strand end to end I would have to change out every bulb as they are off pattern. What am I missing? Or what did you miss?

Please respond ASAP as I want to decorate our home. Please feel free to call us at xxx-xxx-xxxx

I'm sorry your purchase isn't working out the way you would like. However, you didn't buy them from me - I don't sell anything.
Please try tracking down your bill of sale, etc. to find the vendor you used.
If you figure out who you did buy them from, and they're someone I recommend, let me know so I can work it from my end.
God bless, and have a great holiday season!

I was a K-mart tonight and they were starting to put out the Christmas Lights and I found that the 5 bulb c-7 replacement bulbs now contain a true yellow as well as orange, blue, red and green. I have been using yellow bulbs for a while and had to order them from Christmas lights ETC, this is the first time I have seen them in a retail setting. Wish they would sell packs of all one color instead of assorted, but its interesting to see yellow instead of white this year.

Does anyone know the color of the lights on the old Adam 12 Plymouth police cars? The light cans were double ended, one on each side with four lenses. Were all four lenses red? Or were two red and two blue? This would have been circa 1970-71, I think. Thanks, Dutch Edited January 18, 2020 by Dutch
