Your side marker lights must be their original factory color.
Tail lights can be different so long as your brake lights are red and turn signals are amber or red. Backup lights must also be stock white.

guess just bad look then =/
i heard any aftermarket light bulbs are illegal. im using hypers also and so far no such problems. but then again, nowadays, it's hard to for cops to tell fake illegal bulbs from those cars with real hids...unless they know...er nevermind

in some states the law technically denotes that any modifications to a car that do meet originally engineered specifications are illegal. these are mostly states with stringent inspection requirements. yes this is absurd but it makes sense that the state would cover there *** like that. although they would never enforce this law so strcitly.
