White bulbs illegal in CA.

first post... YAY...
afaik, you cannot have blue or red bulbs in the front (because people will think you are a cop). you HAVE to have red brake lights. and you have to have amber sides. apc (better known for ricing out hondas) sells a bulb which blinks amber, but appears silver when not lit. afaik, this is a legal solution if you do not want to see yellow bulbs when you look in your clear housing.
triple8 says clearcorners are illegal regardless of bulb color. i would like to see some proof of that, because i have never heard that before.
cheers,

Why anyone would use an orange bulb is beyond me. It looks ugly, and is still just as "illeagal"
I think you are all confused with something.. The law states that the corners must REFLECT AMBER. Meaning at night time, if a light is shined upon it, it is amber/orange.. If you stick an orange bulb in there along with a clear side marker, this doesen't change anything. Its just like a reflector on a bike, which serves the same purpose as the side markers, so that if the car is parked on the side of the road or something, an oncoming cars headlights will reflect the side marker so it is more visable.
Its pretty unlikely you are going to get ticketed for something that ridiculous though, I wouldn't worry about it. I put in PIAA Xtreme Whites and they look great
BTW: Thanks for that Ducatiguy, I'm going to look into something like that.
