rear clear sides bulb color?

What color of bulb should I use for the rear clear sides? Do I have to use the stock ones, or could I use white bulbs for the back, also? Thanks!

The stock bulbs are clear, and most ppl probably just use them b/c the rear clears usually dont ship with any bulbs. If you really want them to be red at night you could probably hunt down some red ones. I think I remember seeing red corner bulbs on Courtesy's website a while back.

Here's a hint... there was a great writeup about how clears are against the law in all states. Serious. However, MOST of the time, law enforcement will probably not mess with you (unless you are driving bad or have other 'obvious' mods)...

so in my case, I have orange bulbs that came with the front clears and red bulbs (purchased at Walmart) for the rear clears... this makes it less obvious to law enforcement... during the day, they could probably care less... during the evening, with white bulbs in the clears, you'll get a bit more attention than normal IMHO.

I have the polargs in all my clear corners. It looks pretty cool and alot of people like them, and the law hasn't messed with me yet.

I like the look of the hyper white in the back and the orange in front.

Both the front and the back clear markers use 194 bulbs. You can get them anywhere...Autozone, Pep Boys, etc. Each set of 2 was around 3 bucks when I got them. These aren't the bright LED ones though, they're just regular red and amber (the red looks a little pinkish at night).

tkostiuk4...you can get amber LED bulbs from http://autolumination.com/leds.html
Or do a Google search for "LED 194 bulbs" and you'll get tons of results.
