You have to replace it with a bulb that blinks amber to keep it legal.

the stock bulbs inside the headlights light up clear, not amber. The amber reflectors are the one outputing the amber color.

so you'll have to replace the bulbs with amber color.
good luck!

ooo thats what everyone on the forum is doing...for some reason i thought they were just leaving them stock, because in all the D.I.Y.'s no one ever mentions replacing the bulb.. which is odd.. but thanks guys

I actually used a silver bulb that lights up amber, so with the light off, there's no yellow
