Default corner lights

If some of you remember, someone hit my car while i was working with no note, and i did some gheto fixing to make my car drivable, anyways, i was supposed to take it to the shop to get fixed but i had an emergency, and well with emergency's comes the use of money for traveling, so i know how absolutely no money for the next 3 months, anways...

my friend has some clear corner lights for me to put on my car. They are perfect for my model/year.

We are not sure though, if that, in Cali, is it illegal to have clearn corner lights?

in texas they can get you for not having an amber reflector, and cali is usually a little more **** with their traffic laws. are your stock ones fucked up? if they are i suppose those would be better than nothing, avoid the cops though.

my driver side isnt really fucked up at all, but the arm that attaches to the car itself snapped off and i cant find a way to reattach it, so i mean free ones are nice, or 45 bucks for just one new one from honda... i checked out 3 pickapart junkyards out here and not ONE has my model car...

In California, the problem is not so much being illegal as being very obvious & audacious.

Front bumper or corner lights WILL NOT get your car pulled over in Socal. Rear clear tailights WILL get you pulled over. Having said that, it's probably a good idea to make sure your front license plate is on and your car is not excessively lowered and/or noisey. Basically, don't give the cop an excuse....

i'd use em'.

in california, it IS legal to have clear corners and you can have clear or amber light bulbs, but you can get a ticket if you use a bulb that is blue or red, including the hyperwhite xenon ones...for the taillights, theres nothing that says you have to have red reflectors for the brake lights, but the cop will get you for modified lighting assembly, for the rear turn signals they can be clear with amber or red bulbs, so clear corners are ok, but white/amber in front and amber/red in back
