question about legality of hyper white clear corner lights

wat's happening people, i just installed my front diamond cut bumper light and i'm thinking of replacing the yellow bulbs that came with the package with bright bulbs(not too bright), just wanted to know what the story is going to be with the cops, don't want to have to be looking at behind my back while driving, any inputs would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Check your local laws. Every state is different.

I use to have hyper white bulbs all around.. but it's just not worth it for me to get pulled over by the cops.. especially on a blunt ride~

I think as long as you have orange blinkers, they really have no way of giving you a ticket. The law, for the most part, says that you can only have white or amber lights on the front of your car. It will draw a lot of attention though, so even if you don't get a ticket, I'm sure they'll find something to pull you over for if they really wanted.

I have had hyper whites on my front bumper for the past two years...and even had a cop look at them but found nothing wrong....and I live in NJ where anything done to your car seems to **** cops off. Dont be nuisance to the neighborhood and cops wont even bother with the lights...

Along time ago, the orange blinker use to be white. At least that's what my parents told me. You should be fine with another color other than yellow.

In NY and most states, forward facing blinkers can be either amber or white. rears can be amber or red.

but i think amixam ended this thread already

check your local laws
