Meh, I didn't think they were that bad.

you KNOW if i get rear ended, some fagtard is going to be like "i couldn't see his turn signal (plus 2 brake lights and 2 tail lamps)"

and a change of scenery would be nice too. lightly tint the top part

Like I said, they must reflect light aka have a reflector. I figured the clears that gil has probably has a white reflector molded into the lens like OEMs do.

And Philly law =/= Cali law =/= MN law

Mechanics aren't versed on traffic laws, but I can make sure your bulbs work

It's not just about the springs, bro.

oems dont have reflectors molded into em.

I have red clear tail lights and i used the same bulbs from the oem headlights. the cop that pulled me over told me its illegal to have white turn signals. They have to be amber or red. But that turn signal bulb is like, the same color as the interior lights, thats not white

They sell orange and red coated bulbs... if it's clear it's a "white" bulb, even if the color is yellowish.

Cop is not whack. California, like most states require amber or red signals in the REAR and white or amber signals in the FRONT.
