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

 

Clear markers are legal is the blue bulbs that goes in that are not. If you don't want to get hassel by the cops keep the amber bulbs. Or get some chrome yellow so during the day you don't see the yellow bubl but when you turn them on they are amber.

 

ive got hyper white leds in my corners and never been hasseled by cops

 

Legal..

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).

 

right so as long as it is amber or white. But lets be honest not one single led that i got that said super white are white.

 

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.

 

That's good to know, Jason. I thought those front lights had to be amber.
TNX for posting the appropriate section of the HTA.

I think the signal lights have to be amber or red. I guess the marker lights don't. When I had my 330CI, I changed to clear signals on the back and kept the white/clear bulbs and was pulled over and got a warning.

 

I was lucky on the M....it came with clear signals at the front with amber bulbs, so I changed them out for Silverbulbs that flash amber only.
I like it a lot, altho it's probably not 100% legal.

I just grabbed some bulbs that are clear but light up amber from ebay.

 

Picus,
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.
