Default does anyone know about these clear or light blue corner light bulbs that turn amber??

i just installed my clear corners and then on another forum i was told that there are corner bulbs available that are clear or light blue when they are off (so your clear corners still look good) and then amber when they turn on (to fit the DOT requirements).

one more question: do any of you with clear corners just use a clear bulb? have you ever been pulled over because of it?

I have the silverstar turn signal bulbs. Blue when off, amber when on. You can see them in my garage. Also, if you can find them in the states, there's a thing called merc-bulbs. They are chrome when off, and amber when on.

I got the silverstars at advance/discount. I've only seen the merc-bulbs at www.tmtuning.com, so they'd be coming from germany.

It's possible, that when you check the legal definitions related to bulb specs, that his ticket will not stand up in court.-Bob

i have the silverstars . they work awesome .

i bought them because the orange paint always fades , cracks and falls off the genereic orange lights .. and they end up shining yellow . these silverstars are a really deep orange . very nice .
