What Lights?
I still have my orange reflectors in my head lights, do you guys think that super white or red turning indicators would look good? I have a TL-S so what about in the rear, red or white? Thanks for the input.

Ok for the rear I will do superwhites, but for the front, how would it look with superwhites since I still have the orange reflector?

I just wanted let you know that I got pulled over last night having superwhite turn signal bulb on the rear. Downey Sheriff...
He said only RED or ORANGE color light bulbs are OK on the back.

P.S. the reflector is also a major factor...

I have superwhite turn signals in the rear. Here in lower NY the cops are so use to seeing these lights that they dont bother anyone, now if you had that deep blue color, then they would bother you. But i say go with superwhite all around, even the high beams.

Sorta doesn't make sense to permit white rear turn signal bulbs, in combination with clear rear turn signal lenses. Given that white light emitted from the rear is reserved for reverse, it would be sorta misleading to allow white rear turn signals because what if for example you have your hazards on and they stay lit instead of flashing?
Of course, one can put hyperwhite bulbs behind a colored lens, but that would sorta defeat the primary purpose of putting in hyperwhites, wouldn't it?

Yes... i got pulled over for having rear white turn signals for my tailights as well. I had to pay $77 because the cop marked it as "incorrectable glazing material." I think he put in the wrong code or something. It was orignally supposed to be correctable. For $77, I would definitely say that it is not worth it!
