those rice-mustang sequential tailights dont have any orange... it just blinks red in-to-out...

and school buses have red turn signals...

i want to make my rear turn signal red, (make that oval completely red), but im wondering if thats legal..........

 

ive changed mine out from yellow to red and havent been pulled over from them though i think sometimes my brake lights and turn lights blend in too much...but as far as i know there not illegal

 

They're legal, look at half of the domestic vehicles made. My girl has a 95 s-10 blazer...just two big red taillights...they blink or they get brighter...that's it. No orange...hope this helps.

 

the eldorado has full red lights...About that car am I the only one whose noticed that the rear lights are like FULL I can't explain it, but its like there would be a lot of different bulbs in the light I dunno...

 

The lights are full? Don't get what your saying..

 

anything that makes those cops unhappy is illegal. I have friends got pulled over for clear corners. WTF

 

Yeah I read somewhere that in California it's illegal to have clear corners because we need to have a orange reflective strip somewhere on the front...dont know if its true tho

 

It's probably true, cause in Hawaii it's illegal to have clear corners. The Honda guys have been getting pulled over for their Altezzas. But as far as having red turn signals goes (assuming they are the back ones and not the front ones) it's legal cause our Quest has them.

 

as pointed out red turn signals are legal ( in US atleast ).
most american cars have that.

I think it's not so in Canada -- canadian folks - do american made cars have red turn lights there too ??

IMHO it's kinda stupid (risky ) to have red turn lights ...

but if u like the looks, go for it !!

 

i have the red lights in the back and ive had several drive behind me when making changing lanes and nothing has ever happened

 

It's true cops

 

Check out the corvettee. They have 4 circular red lights that blink when they turn. It's legal untill it becomes illegal

 

Do you have clear corners on your car? would the cops notice?

 

What do you mean by "it's not so in Canada"? In Canada red blinking signals are completely legal. Just look at all those Caravans on the road!

Clear corners are not legal tho. You must have orange reflective material on the front side and red reflective material on the rear side. (aka sidemakers)

Hope it helps.

By the way, if you get in an accident and then the insurance finds out that you have clear corners or altezzas, you are going to have fun arguing that it's not related to the accident. (ie. "I can't see the car coz there's only two white lights moving, not one orange and one red." (looking from the side in a very dark night))

 

it's true, it's true! you must have an amber lens in the front of your car in the state of cali. i got a $77 ticket from ****EN fremont cops for it. DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM ALL TO HELL!

 

What about in NJ? My friend (in an Integra) says that the front clears are legal but rears are illegal and he failed inspection because of it...

 

Constant searching = thread revival...

Just wanted to let you 5th geners know that in Cali it is illegal to have red turn signals on a car that didn't have them from the factory. Why? Because you have tampered with a DOT approved device without having it reapproved by the DOT.

I was driving my friend's 97 accord with all red tails and separate reverse white lights. The reverse lights were ok, I assume, but the cop stopped me and said that he has a similar accord and that those aren't the stock lights threfore he can give me a ticket for it. The rest of the car was stock (including yellow ugly headlights) so he let us go. Cops won't stress over this unless they're in a really really bad mood.

Not sure what state you're in (i'm too lazy to look) but you can usually find your state's laws on the internet. For the VA folks, here is a page that someone sent to me:

Anyway. I don't think the tailights would be a big concern, since hardly anyone would ever even notice. Clear sides, on the other hand, are somewhat more noticeable and are illegal in most places. As for the tailights, i'm still not sure of their legality, because as someone pointed out, you are tampering w/ DOT devices. But i like mine. . .
