Clearance blue or amber bulbs

I'm going to buy some bulbs in parking lights and i don't know how they will look on car. I think that blue color looks good only on matching paint.
Q:
1.How the blue bulbs looks at night time some pics pls(any problems with cops)
2.Pics of amber at night.
And i really want to see clearance without any upgrades i.e wattage tweaks i'm gonna keep connector stock
What was your experience guys or may be i should leave it stock

The blue bulbs dont actually light in a blue color. Its more of a white-ish blue. They look good though, I have them on mine and the cops never complain. As long as its not your turn signal, you will be fine.

I have all blue lights, including the directional lights... cops don't care much around here. They look good IMO, although I am contemplating on re-wiring the clearance lights to make them brighter.

Do not keep the stock bulbs, they are a sorry excuse for yellow. I would put amber in, more classy and clean.

Mine are silverstar amber bulbs. They are not cheap ($20 a pair) but worth it. They are the kind that look clear when not on, but look amber when lit up. I did not buy them for this reason, I bought them because standard orange-colored bulbs actually light up more of a yellow color, I wanted true "orange."

In addition to those bulbs, I have the brighter clearance light mod done to them.

I know what you're saying about the yellow look on ambers, I have those but they are a lot cheaper.

I put in amber a while ago. I like it. I've been wanting to wire them to blink with the turn signals, instead of just lighting brighter. I think that would look pretty good to have two separate turn signals up front, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
