Blinker Colors

Can the blinkers be a hyperwhite color or do they all have to be amber? I just don't want to get a ticket having the wrong color in them.

Amber to be safe. I left my regular clear bulbs in there, so they aren't hyper-white, but they aren't amber either. I haven't gotten in trouble for them yet, but who knows.

I have several friends who have gotten pulled over and ticketed for hyperwhites in their turns.

I don't know about everywhere else, but in Missouri, as of August 28th or so, a few automobile laws were changed. It is now legal to tint all windows of a car up to 35%, and the lighting rules have been changed. Lights being emitted from the front of a car must have a yellow to white color, including turn signals. Translated, hiperwhite bulbs in turn signals on the front is perfectly legal in Missouri. I'm sure you can search somewhere and find the statutes for your own state, but I've printed mine out and keep them in the glove compartment just in case.

Peace

I have hyperwhites ALL around on my black 98 SE. I havent gotten pulled over or ticketed for any mod on my car. I have hyperwhites in the front clearance, side marker and turn signals and in the back turn signals and side markers. I live on Long Island and Im surprised I havent had my ***** busted more. Lucky me I guess. Looks so much better than amber or plain white IMO.

I live in MA and used to have hyperwhite blinkers. Never got pulled over but still changed them to amber just to be on a safe side.

You can get them from a local performance auto place. They are really really white with blue tinting(not really noticable).

Theres pics of them at night on my site. Under Readers Rides.
