Clear side markers

I am going to get the clear side markers from custom maxima within the next few weeks and I was wondering if it was worth is to get the clear p4 bulbs for them. Do they make much of a difference/ look much better?

woops, meant to say m4 bulbs. That sucks that you got pulled over. I don't understand why it matters what color the side ones are. I mean, cars that are like 10 years old don't even have side markers. I really don't think it should matter. Oh well, I'll just get the markers and not the bulbs then. Thanks.

if you do get bulbs i would recommend getting red LEDS for the back and sticking with amber bulbs up front. dont run the risk of buying "red" bulbs from a store and finding out they are actually pink

I haven't gotten pulled over for mine yet and I have been pulled over for speeding twice with them on. Once you get them get some silicon and go around the light where the lens meets the white housing. This is to prevent condesation from getting in. Just trying to save you before putting them on then finding out that they have water in them. Also if you want white get the Autolumination 6 led super white 194 bulbs. www.autolumination.com you will like them.

perhaps the cops in indy know too much about moddingwhen i got pulled over, the second thing he said was that it was illegal not to have amber and red in the side marker...

i love those wheels. almost got them myself. you should consider dropping her though, would look much better...

i want to get the 6 or 9 led from them, but i have read they have crappy customer service. also the bulb colors usually don't match, and they won't exchange them without a restocking fee..
