blue side markers on silver/grey body

Hey all quick fashion question. Right now I have a silver/grey rx8 with yellow/orange sidemarkers. My question is what would you think if I put blue side markers on? Would that look poor, or pretty cool in your all's opinion? I'm not such a big fan of the stock orange/yellow. any one done this color combo before?

Current 8 sidemarkers:

than the ones I want to get: (Id be getting white bulbs. Oh and by the way, the license plate is off now so there would be no yellow plate in the front).

Just let me know what you think.

my friend has the same ones on his black car except they are clears not blue. He has condensation issues so i dont recommend this product.

Have you seen the jdm clear corners? Personally i feel like these look the best, and if you want something blue you can add a blue bulb to the side marker, i just bought used clear sidemarkers used for $35 in great shape so deals are to be had!

Yeah they do look pretty nice. Where do you recommend I buy them from? I see the average price is around $80 for them.

stalk the forums, trust me its worth it. Just check every day multiple times. I bought mine 10 minutes after the guy posted them so i was lucky. You can also make a WTB ad in the marketplace. i got them for a good price, id say expect $40-$50 for them used. jdm clears look the best out of all of them.

I would think blue side markers are illegal.

Clear corner with yellow bulb. It's a car, not the circus or a disco.

You cannot have blue lights. You cannot have red forward facing lights. They are for emergency vehicles. The police will give you a ticket.

uho, the forum insults



Yeah, this is my car I drive every day to work actually.



And no, I actually just happen to like the color blue which is why I wanted to put them on there... Because many people said they are just white with a "blueish" tint. So I figured it would be ok. I see people all the time with blue led's driving around and partly blue xenon lights.... And regardless of them being blue, most any aftermarket lights regardless of color are illegal. And come to think of it, a lot of members here who have a lots of posts drive without license plates, in states where its illegal and call it "beauty tax"... Hmmm.. And I didnt even buy em, I just asked a question about something I didnt know. So dont be a dick. It doesnt help any one. just provide info like the 1st post did. It helped a lot and I knew what to look for.
