Default pulled over

got pulled over tonight, police officer warned me of my tailights and that they were not met to the needs of the law, he didnt give me a ticket. you have to understand that i have the ones that are all clear and what i did was paint a line of translucent paint across the brake bulb. it seemed to work for about 2 months and then this cop came along and did something about it. As soon as i got home i changed back to the stock lights and i think this is how its going to be for awhile unless i decide to strip the red stripe of paint and apply some red bulbs. But when i do this what color does the bulb have to be that signals that you have your lights on while you driving?? And on the front of a 94 accord ex can you make the turn signals that are originally orange clear and not have to change the bulbs on both the bottom and top corner turn signals??? And last can the rear side markers be clear??? because ive heard of them having the be red and cant be clear. thanks

i know that where i am from you cannot change the color of any signal. You can change the lens to clear but the bulb must be the color the lens used to be. They are not that hard on front turn signals but will bust your *** for clear side markers and any tailight. That is because with clear lights in those places, as compared to the front, it creates a hazard for other drivers not being able to clearly see where your car is.

Do offense dude, but a lot of members here won't respect you at all unless you use decent, good-old-fashioned English. Just a heads up.

so you're saying that i have to have reflectors on my turn signal lenses if they are at the top of the front bumber and all my bulbs have to be either amber and red if i have clear all around, except for the reverse lights? appreciate it

Clear tails are just begging for the cops to pull u over. Go with red/clears/S-types/ or the factory lights.

first of all I was trying to help you...... you should see how bad people who use slang in this board get burned, frankly the point of this page is for people smarter than you to answer your technical questions, so ease up some
second of all I am sorry that is the only way you know how to speak but that gives you no right to call me dumb, if you know what I mean, but again I meant no harm and will leave you alone if you wish.
