Turn signal and parking light bulbs

I am expecting some clear corner lenses and some clear bumper lenses today. Will I be able to still use my factory bulbs with those? My main question is will the turn signals still be orange? And if I need to change out my parking light light bulbs. Thanks guys!

So pretty much, can I just install the new lenses and leave it at that or do I need to install any more new bulbs?

Thanks guys!

Depends on what state laws are where you live. In NY, your turn signals have to be orange, not sure about parking lamps. If that's the case for you, you'll need orange bulbs to pass state inspection.

We don't have state inspections here

So I'm not sure how to find out if it is legal or not....hmm...

This is just a guess, but from everyone I've talked to (in a variety of states), cops don't care if your turn/parking lights are orange or white, just so long as they work.

OK, cool. Thanks guys!

I guess I will leave it alone for now, I doubt they would give me a ticket right off the bat just for having a different color for my turn signals. They'll probably just give me a warning and tell me to change the bulbs...hopefully

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure it's a fix it ticket. If you carried the tools with you, you could probably change it right there in front of him/her and avoid the citation.

Again, don't quote me on it though
