To have blue bulbs in my clear corner lites, I thought it was only illegal if it was my blinker? Let me know before I get a ticket!

I think the only two colors you can have is amber/orange and white. It might not be illegal but I think you'd probably get pulled over and hassled for it.

Well I have blue bulbs too...but I just dont sweat it..I have mine where my orange strip used to be...I mean my argument is that those lights dont blink..actually they dont serve any purpose because my cornering light is still white. I thought about changing that to blue too but I thought that might be to much. *knock on wood* I haven't been hassled yet...and I keep my orange lights in my car just in case

I just dunno...

Well I just put the bulbs in my clear corners, But Ive got bulbs for both parts, the big bulb, and the little bulb you said u have Sarah, and I was thinking, it looks kewl, but is that so blue Im gon get pulled over? Then I was like wow, is this gon look retarded? Am I going to be the nerd in town?
Is it gon look retarded to have such blue corners, but white headlites? Help me out here...I think it looks kinda neat, but the last thing I need is a ticket. What I need to do is stop buying shiat for my lites, and fix my ugly tint!

If your bulbs give off a pure blue glow, then you will most likely get pulled over. Personally, I think you should get hyper white bulbs for the corners.. The bulbs look blue but when they light up they are white.

By law, you need to have orange side makers. On our maximas, they don't blink but the main purpose is the orange reflector. When your car is parked at night, an oncoming car should see the orange reflector on the sides letting the driver know which way your car is facing. Your cornering light bulb(the bigger bulb) can be white or orange. The wedge bulb(the smaller bulb) should be orange for clear corners and white for stock corners. This will help you avoid police harassment.
