Hi Everyone,

hope everyone had a good start for 2009,

just wondering if it's legal to have clear/smoked side markers as long as they blink amber when lit ?

since CR has clear side markers , i assume it's legal, but does the law state otherwise?


Also, thinking about going smoked, with chrome bulbs, does anyone have first hand experience on those? are them dimmer by a significant amount?

Thanks!

it doesnt matter what color the lens are. It just has to blink amber.

To clarify for all (I've been cited before):

Sidemarkers: CLEAR LENS--OK
AMBER LIGHT--OK (if you have a silver bulb that blinks yellow, ok too)
CLEAR LIGHT--NO GOOD

Front turn signals: CLEAR REFLECTOR: NO GOOD, even if bulb blinks yellow. The vehicle code clearly states that you need to have a yellow reflector in place. (Functionally, I've had a sliver bulb that blinks and lights up yellow. Unless you have a really anal cop, you CAN get away with it....YMMV.)

I've had clear blinkers, and bluish sides since I got the car (cleared my headlights within three weeks) and have never had issues..

Thanks all! i think i will probably do it later as the cops in my area are considered pretty anal ( the type that camps in residential area for people that doesnt fully stop at stop signs).

last thing i want is to get pulled over for lights! but i will eventually do it in the future i think!

Search button is your friend. Theres a post says side markers must blink amber or white light. If a cop hassles you tell him to look it up

yep, i searched but my question was really about does the reflectors have to look amber when not lit!

and laws always change so just thought i've ask in the local forum to see if anyone gets hassled for it!

Thanks all for response !
