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.

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.

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

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

Quoting the California Vehicle Code:
So, in case you missed it, white or amber on the front, amber only on the side.
Side, Cowl, or Fender Lamps
25106. (a) Any motor vehicle may be equipped with lighted white or amber cowl or fender lamps on the front. Any vehicle may be equipped with not more than one amber side lamp on each side near the front, nor more than one red side lamp on each side near the rear. 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.
