Thumbs up Clear Corner bulbs

i think that this is the right place for this question..... I just recieved some clears that i ordered today. and i was wondering if i have to have orange bulbs....because that was one of the main reasons why i got clear corners was so that i didnt have to have orange ones?? can i put in blue bulbs?? thanks for any input...

I live in WA state

I lived in oregon, before i m oved to CO, and i never got pulled over with my blue xenon bulbs in my corners...but, you have to get the bulbs that are blue, but flash white, cuz real blue will get you pulled the hell over.

even thought you have clear corners... do you still want amber illumination or white/blue?

yea i got those.
works great.. looks good too.

when off... full clear corners. but when on, still very visible ambers.

www.autolumination.com is the place i got them from. kinda messy site. just cross-reference your bulb numbers and youll be good to go.

I had blue bulbs(blue lights) with my clears when i lived in Boston. I never got pulled over once and had them in for about 3+ yrs. When i moved to RI and went for inspection they failed me cause of the bulbs and cause my windows were tinted. In Boston i didn't have that problem. So i bought the Stealth bulbs which are chrome looking when off and when on they blink amber,i like those better than the blue. It really depends on which ones you buy cause there are so many different shades of blue.

i went with the stealth bulbs because i still like amber illumination during nighttime.

couldn't stand the white/blues because all the kids with fixed up trucks in high school had to have SUPER PLASMA BLUES in anything that could take a lightbulb. Every light on the front end had to match, be it white or blue. They thought it was hot... I thought it was stupid.
