It may differ from state to state but, clear corners are illegal because the stock ones also serve as a reflector, that is why cops have a problem. Once you go clear corner you no longer have that reflective len that enables someone to see you in the event your lights are off.

I'm wondering if anyone thought of these 2 questions:

1. Is the factory side mirror blinkers on the new cars nowadays consider same as the clear corners?
2. What about those totally clear side blinkers that you can see through the bulb from VW? I think Jetta and bugs has them...

I have not seen the JDM clear corners in person and perhaps they are not as reflective as orange factory ones, or maybe VW's clear side blinkers has mirror-like reflective in them. So I assume they are legal?

I'd like to get them too, but I wouldn't want to give any excuses for cops to pull me over.
