What bulbs to get for clear corners and how much?

Hey guys, i just ordered another pair of clear corners to replace my broken ones. anyways, what bulbs can i buy that are cheap and have that bright, white give off like the PIAAs? PIAAs are like $30 at least i think which i think is kinda ridiculous for bulbs. But anyways, please give me a part # for the PIAAs too in case i cannot find other bulbs. thx!!

Clear corners are illegal, period. The side markers MUST reflect amber. With a white or blue bulb you're increasing the chances of getting pulled over.

Don't sweat it, I just found it amusing that skeleton is all over EVERY bulb thread.

What exactly are you looking for? I can't help you with cheap bulbs, but if you have a certain look in mind, why go cheap on the bulbs after you spent 35k on the car? Plus those $30 bulbs will last the life of your car never require changing.

I think they're only illegal if they're used as turn signals and they don't reflect amber. Technically you could have clear corners and still meet legal specs if you had amber-colored bulbs. Then again, what's the point of installing clear corners if you're not gonna go all the way and install white bulbs...hmmm...catch 22 isn't it? But seriously, I know that in DC/MD it wouldn't be an issue if your side markers weren't used as turn signals. The G35's front turn signals are in the head lights and they reflect amber.
