Clear corner question...

I've just ordered my front clear corners for the max. I'm wondering if I should replace the orange bulbs with white, or if they will look good through the clear lenses. I think that I've seen both ways. What do you think looks better? I've been at a loss to find any comparison pics.

i wouldn't bother with white bulbs, unless you want to shell out more money than you'd think to get really good ones. i thing Polarg makes good ones, i might be wrong tho...

i kinda like the amber bulb there, it separates the headlights from the fogs... white bulbs would be almost too much white IMO

White bulbs may get you some bubble gum lights behind you. I went and bought some amber ones when I switched to clear.

Yeah. Your state laws may answer that question for you.

besides that you already have white in there unless you changed them out, the stockers are not orange only the lenses.

depending on where you bought your clear corners from, it should come with the amber bulbs. I say stick with Amber, especially if it comes with the corner lights.

Stay with amber bulbs. It is illegal for the corner to not SHINE amber in some way or fashion.

in GA are you sure? I thought amber and clear are legal, but all other colors arent.

I'm a former cop, but to be honest with you, I'm not real sure about the color difference matters here in FL. Like it has been stated, some identifying color marker must signal a turn. I don't feel like looking up that 36_. statute right now Good input though. Thanks

I think Sylvania sells a bulb that looks silver, but when it lights it lights up orange. They are very expensive, I think PepBoys sells them for about $20 a pair.
