Nokya Hyper Yellows

Just installed Nokya Hyper Yellows H1 & H11 today to get ready for foul weather Oregon. Miss my bright orange Catz fogs.. They were perfect for lighting up wet roads

I would assume amber because even though it is not a law to have amber side marker reflectors I believe they still have to light up amber.

Colt is right. I didn't get a JDM headlight because of beam pattern and I like how it is right now with tinted sides. Maybe I'll get it in the future is I get a JDM fever.

About the blue sidemarkers, it all depends on what kind of cop passes by. My friend got pulled over for having Piaa's super white led wedge bulb on his 01 CL-S and got a ticket for impersonating a police. Doesn't it have to be flashing blue to be impersonating a cop car? Its a steady on driving light or somewhat of a foglight located on the bottom of 01~02 CLs.

I just found something about "impersonating a police"

It is a crime to falsely impersonate a police officer, a federal officer or employee, or any other public official. Although the laws vary from state to states, many states also consider it a crime to use equipment used by law enforcement officers, such as red and blue flashing lights. It also may be a crime to flash a fake police badge. Possession of a firearm also can enhance the penalty for false impersonation of a police officer.

Here is a link to more about this.

Honestly guys I like the orange on the headlights alot better then JDM for all colors except black.

If you have a black TSX then you need the JDM clear corners. I like how those guys from Japan post their accords with the tsx USDM headlights. Lovin the orange!! just a thought.

eg civics in japan didnt come with amber corners from the factory as far as i know... Vision made the amber corners and they took off becuase the r32 came standard with them and they became a bit of a trend. Most amber corners now are a replica/fake of the original vision corners.

I don't like the orange side look that much on the tsx ... the clear sides are much better
