Anyone with clearcorners & amber/red led bulbs?

Wanted to see if anyone has pics of what the clear's look like at night with the amber/red led's. Don't want to give cops an excuse to pull me over at night by using the Polars or PIAA wedge ones since I already have a recent ticket for speeding. Thanks.

I have the clear corners with the red bulbs in back and the amber bulbs up front. I can snap a few pics tonight and post them on my car domain sight. I will say that the lights at night look totally different then having the colored lenses in there. Saytime it looks cool and at night, well the amber is great but the red is a little on the pink side, but it still looks great!!!

I have some horrible pep boys LED lights in my rear clears. They are really pink. I'd stay away from anything bought at pep boys I'm actually looking for something to replace these if you guys have any suggestions. Here are a few pics...

I don't have any pictures, but I do have APC Yellow fronts(which are amber and I have no idea why they call them yellow L.E.D's) and reds in the back. I live in Northern VA where they will pull you over for just about anything and I've never had a problem. they look stock at nightime.

Triple8sol, where did you purchase your bulbs from? Virus, is the APC led's red or pink in color? Do they light up the majority of the clear lens?

I got them on EBay, but I wouldn't recommend them. They had a great color at night, but I had several pairs burn out on me for some reason, so I took them out. I thought it was a problem with all LEDs in the clears, but maybe just the ones I had?

Where did you find them on that site? I only see 3mm and 5mm listed...no mention of 194 bulbs.

Thanks ICULookN. So which did you order...the single, 4, or 6 LED? It says the 4 and 6 are brighter but project all their light straight out. The single projects its light both straight out and to the sides.

I got the single led, I think its more important the light projects out to the side instead of the front. I also bought the amber 7440 led's for my front turn signals, I plan to clear my hids when I install my Angel eyes.

Sweet, now I know what bulbs to get for my turn signals too! I've had the clear lense sitting here for months because I'm too scared to open my HIDs and I didn't know which bulb to get to keep them blinking orange. Thanks again!

The APC's are called Yellow, but are actually OEM Amber. I only have APC's in the front clears and they don't cover the entire lens like the rears do. I bought my rear red LED's from Midnight Moose. They do cover the entire lens. I don't remember the manufacturer, but they were the only reds available through midnightmoose.com. You pretty much have to get LED's. All the aftermarket amber or red bulbs I've tried have turned colors. Amber changes to a very ugly yellow and the red turns pinkish after awhile.
