Are Clear Side Markers Legal in Canada?
Does anyone know if clear side markers are legal in Canada (Ontario)? I put in the Nissan clear side markers, with the amber bulbs, but like them better with the original white bulbs.
Is this ok? Has anyone been pulled over for this? I've seen another thread about this, but they were talking about Hawaii.
Thanks

From The Highway Traffic Act
PART VI : EQUIPMENT
62. (1) When on a highway at any time from one-half hour before sunset to one-half hour after sunrise and at any other time when, due to insufficient light or unfavourable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 150 metres or less, every motor vehicle other than a motorcycle shall carry three lighted lamps in a conspicuous position, one on each side of the front of the vehicle which shall display a white or amber light only, and one on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (1).
Idem
(3) When on a highway at any time every motorcycle with a side car shall carry a lighted lamp in a conspicuous position on each side of the front of the vehicle which lamps shall display a white or amber light only and a lighted lamp on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light only. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 62 (3).

wow... when was that written? so you have to have two lights on the front, and one on the rear... that doesn't even mention the side markers.
are they required? my brother has a mustang, with red reflectors on the side of the rear bumper and he's thinking of removing them entirely.
the original white lights from the yellow side markers are an ugly yellowish white, so I guess I'm ok.

I've not seen bulbs that are clear and light up amber, but the silverbulbs I bought from AutoWerks (sp?) in Cali display silver but light up amber.....
but damn are they expensive: a pair was about $25 USD + shipping, handling, taxes = $32 USD. !!!!!
That reminds me that I need some 'after' pics.
I'll post the b4 and after install of these gems. I like the effect.
Do you mind me asking what you paid on ebay for the clear/amber lighted bulbs? and those are for the G's side markers (CC's) right? (size 168)?

And here are the ones you would use in the headlight assembly if you clear the amber part.
