Default Clear or Amber bumper lenses?

Well, I have clear lenses right now and like them...one has a slight crack in it though. I was thinking of putting
my stockers back on for the NOPI show. What do you all think?

I personally like the amber lenses. I liked them so much that I replaced my tailights with tailights from a 96 Integra with the amber turn signals.

I've seen clear tinted corner lights for Integras. They look pretty good on the car.

My 2 cents...

I'd say put the stock ones back on, NOPI doesn't need any more rice than it already has

or you can try using clear lenses with amber bulbs
looks good with lights on and this way they arent
so bright amber they look more like the 97 lights

I was thinking about getting clears, they have two kinds and euros and regulars. Does anyone know of a good place to get them? Possibly in TO?

imho, both look pretty good on a py...

amber will look pretty good though... since they're not cracked.

on a black car, I think smoke, red, or clear look better than amber.

I have clear on mine (I just got them yesterday) and I like them a lot. Do whatever you like more, that's what matters.

I guess I'll have to go with the amber bulbs then. Red ones would be cool, but I have heard the cops around this area aren't too nice....

i have yet to be pulled over for my red lights and i have had them for a couple months now i don't think cops around here really care about that all that much. the only time people get stopped is for underbody neons and **** i was pulled over one night for speeding and the cop just looked at them and said nothing

Unfortunately, that's illegal in every state. Just because they didn't give you a ticket, doesn't mean it's legal.

If you really wanna be legal, then keep em' stock cause the aftermarket ones aren't DOT certified. I've never been pulled over for my clears but I have an amber bulb for signals and white for the corners.

Amber bulbs in clear lenses is still illegal, but less likely to get you pulled over. Do you think there's a reason why I know this?

I would think you want it the other way around. Amber on the corners is where the legality comes in. It actually needs to be an amber REFLECTOR, not the light. THAT is the problem. The lights are not as important. I had hyper-whites in the front and ambers in the corners.

ALL of it is at the officer's discression. They can choose to enforce the vehicle code to the letter or not.

B2finity is correct, all of the aftermarket ones are not DOT certified.

DOT certification applies to equipment manufacturers, not consumers.

I just saw something I haven't ever seen before... A 6th gen civic in a parking lot with BLUE corners. I don't mean clear corners with a blue bulb, the corners themselves were clear... weird...
