Well...

Are you bulbs still orange? If so, YES you will pass inspection. If not, NO you shouldn't.

Thanks! They're 13.6 lbs too so they'd be good for autocrossing. I like your rims alot too, but my GXE didn't come with nice wheels like those. If I had them I probable would have kept them.

technically, the housing itself should have "DOT" stamped on it. If it doesn't, then it's not street legal but most shops wouldn't even notice. Just have amber bulbs and you'll be fine.

NO

No you will not pass inspection. You need orange reflectors in the front side markers. Just change the side markers back to the orange and you'll pass.

I know this because I failed the first time through inspection with my clear corners. The guy who did the inspection at the station was cool, he told me what they look for. You definately need orange reflectors in the front of your car to pass NJ instpection. Basically you just have to change the side lenses back to the stock orange and you'll be fine. Leave the front clear as long as you have the amber bulbs in them.

Thank you for correcting them, everyone always forgets about the reflectors.

Interesting point. I had clear corners on my '96 Impala SS, and passed inspection with them at the Paramus Station. Guess they weren't paying attention.

I have a set of clear markers now in my room for my '00 SE, but I'm gonna wait to install them until after inspection, just to be safe.
