clear or amber bulb looks

just wondering what the majority likes best.....clear corners with the clear or amber bulb.....realizing that the clear/clear combination is not legal in most states

I've had clear/clear for almost 7 months now..no problems whatsoever. I think the law can be interpreted in many ways though. Some states say that the side lights can not be white and serve as blinkers. It doesn't say anyhting about having side lights being white and not blinking at all. So if a cop were to ask me about it, I would say that I thought it could be white as long as its not blinking. Hopefully he'd just give me a fix-it ticket and I'd throw it out when I got home..

I also think that a cop isn't smart enough to figure out whats supposted to be white, and what supposted to be amber.

You could change your parking lights to amber and leave the other things while/white and really throw them for a loop!

Really anything other than amber plastic reflector is illegal. Amber bulb or not. But having an amber bulb makes it look legal, at least.

Its DOT/Federal Law.

Front - Amber (front visible) amber side reflectors

Rear - Red (rear visible) red side reflectors

Rear turn sigals: Amber or Red (light) bulbs and housing may be clear.

Front turn signals: Amber (light) bulbs and housing may be clear. (some states Indiana ie allow clear front signals)

Thats the law!

For the Infiniti G35: anything other than OEM technically is illegal to change, but.....

You can clear-out our front signals if they flash amber. (white in Indy) Thats ok.

Changing to "clear corners" is illegal even with an amber bulb b/c the reflector itself must be amber. (it only look okay b/c the amber shines threw)

You can clear-out our back lights as long as you add red reflectors in back, both side and back visible.
