Clear lights

Hi so I'm buying these brake lights since someone rear ended me. Will I need to buy new brake & signal lights or can I just use the stock ones?

your LED board (brake lights) you can reuse.

since these new tails you're getting have clear corners, you will have to get some red/amber bulbs to use for turn signals.

your stock bulbs are clear/white...so you can't run those with these new clear corners. clear/white turn signals and housing combo is illegal.

The clear/white tail light signal; is that for your state? Being illegal?

nationwide.

if you have clear corners on your tail lights...you need red turn signal bulbs so that when you apply your turn signal, it's RED.

our stock tail lights have a red housing...so the stock white lights are fine, bc the red housing allows it to blink red.
