clear corners legal in cali?
this may very well be a dumb question but i wanna know, if i just change the corners and keep the stock light (im assuming its white) is that legal or do i have to get an amber bulb?
|
There are some that hide the fact that it's amber until its turned on.
EDIT: (Once again Puppy was talking out of his A**.) |
dan that sucks, i wanted to keep em white cuz i dont like the amber look, thanks! but still gettin the clear corners...
|
NO YOU DONT NEED AMBER BULBS.
california law stats that the front blinkers bulbs can be any color. im running the original stock bulbs with my clear corners, its 100% legal its the rear blinkers that need to have amber/red bulbs. |
sweet thanks a lot!!
|
which is the cheapest place to get em? cuz all i need are the corners right? no special lights or harnesses
|
try jt-imports.com for the corners
sorry but clear corners are illegal as far as the bulb --amber or white is ok hyper white or blue is illegal |

Sorry Tribal... California Vehicle Division 12 Section 24953 States The front's most be either clear or amber...no other color is allowed.... Turn Signal Lamps 24953. (a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light visible to the rear. (b) Side-mounted turn signal lamps projecting a flashing amber light to either side may be used to supplement the front and rear turn signals. Side-mounted turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of the center of the vehicle may project a flashing red light no part of which shall be visible from the front. Don't mean to bust you out :D |
thats what I'm saying
I drove a rice rocket modded civic for 4 years I've had every ticket under the sun cops have told me anything that is not stock or anything that has been changed is illegal Ive had tickets for tint,sound system, no front plate, illegal corners,taillights,turn signals or mirrors or fenders, air suspension, exhaust, illegal light in licesnce plate, too low, sticker on front windshield cops will give you a ticket for anything and normally get away with it |
hmm so does that mean if i get clear corners i gotta get the amber bulbs? just clarifying...

even the clear corners are illegal
I have them and it doesn't bother me if I get a ticket for them because its just a fix-it ticket which is 10bucks and proof of correction. It wont hurt your insurance. If you have clear corners you might as well put whatever color bulb you want because the clear corner is illegal |

PLEASE EVERYONE STOP THE MISINFORMATION.
I MISWORDED MY FIRSTPOST, I MEANT ANY COLOR AS LONG AS THEY BLINKED WHITE OR AMBER CLEAR CORNERS ARE TOTALLY LEGAL IN CALIFORNIA "24953. (a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light visible to the rear." |
you guys arent getting it
the bulb must be amber or white the clear winkler that came from mazda was orange if you change that to clear like my car IT IS ILLEGAL no matter what color the bulb inside of it is |
I wish you guys were right but if you take your 8 to a police station or just up to any cop--- ask him if the clear corner is legal
I PROMISE its illegal , you cant change it from the stock orange |
Originally posted by mikeb you guys arent getting it the bulb must be amber or white the clear winkler that came from mazda was orange if you change that to clear like my car IT IS ILLEGAL no matter what color the bulb inside of it is It is a side MARKER light, it does NOT blink. Go check it. |
Originally posted by tpryor Ok, I stayed out as long as possible, but I can't take it anymore..... It is a side MARKER light, it does NOT blink. Go check it. |
okay let me just make this clear, i was asking about the sidemarkers. sorry for any confusion with the naming.
|
I know its confusing
HOwever the sidemarker---orange legal clear illegal bulbs----orange or white legal hyper white or blue illegal |
can't get any clearer than that (no pun intended)
|
I'm not trying to be rude
I'm just stating what I know I drove a civic that was totally illegal for 4 years everyday I know what will get you a ticket |

The light source of each such lamp shall not exceed four standard candlepower. (b) Lamps meeting requirements established by the department for side-marker or combination clearance and side-marker lamps may be installed on the sides of vehicles at any location, but any lamp installed within 24 inches of the rear of the vehicle shall be red, and any lamp installed at any other location shall be amber. Amended Ch. 723, Stats. 1979. Effective January 1, 1980. |
