Yea, I know the logic about as long as they glow amber, they're fine... but...

I need proof (like a link to a PA web page, etc.) beyond "I read it somewhere on the RX-8 forum" or my wife won't let me buy 'em

Anyone ever stumble upon anything official for PA?

"Identification, clearance and side marker lights.--Every motor vehicle, trailer and combination operated on a highway shall be equipped with a system of lights which may include retroreflective reflectors, identification, clearance and side marker lights in conformance with regulations of the department." PA Motor Vehicle Code (Title 75)

Im work in Jersey, but thats what I could find for PA. Hope that helps.

 

as long as the bulbs arent a "rice" color you should be fine....do it

 

I agree. Go for it, it looks great.

 

Clear corners in PA for a year with amber bulbs and no problems yet. Doesn't mean it is legal but I am not worried about that. Now, tint, that is another story...

 

i have them and no one ever bothered me

 

Has it passed inspection with the clears?

I agree it looks fantastic... but the wife wants Official, Notarized (in blood) Proof Of Legality before I can order them.

I've been searching around, but specific info eludes me thus far...

 

Just to close the thread, if anyone cares (lol), as best I can tell, clear corner markers are illegal in PA. Title 67, Chapter 153 addresses this (see attached pic).

Amber reflectors, as well as amber lights, are apparently required

Link is at http://www.dot.state.pa.us/, click on General Information, Links, Pennsylvania Code...

 

haha maybe they are illegal but no one ever bothers me about them and it did pass inspection so i guess it would depend on how bored a cop is and if they really wanted to pull you over for somthing that stupid lol. I have the stock clear lights still but I could have sworn if you got amber lights it would be legal.

 

I am interested in those clear corner lenses too where did you guys get them from and were they easy to install?

 

yo, I've gotta get my car inspected soon.....I will let you know how it goes.....we spoke on Sunday about it....I know your concerns....will keep you posted.

i have passed inspection with them and have never had any trouble with police.

 

It says amber lamp, which when you turn on the signal / lights it is amber, isn't it? I don't think they care what the color of the lamp housing is so long as when the lamp is illuminated it's the proper color.

 

" I don't think they care what the color of the lamp housing is so long as when the lamp is illuminated it's the proper color"

good point i agree with that and they deffinately make the car flow so much better.

any one around the pittsburgh area into racing...whether its SCCA or w.e. please let me know
