Yeah, I knew in CA that white turn signal lights in the rear were def. ILLEGAL.

I always assumed it was the same for the front, but that's interesting.. I wouldn't really want white turn signals up front anyway. Anything to set me apart driving down the road I try to avoid. Except of course a lift and bigger tires! lol.

I bought them! lol. 10 minutes after I said I was going to wait a day or two..


Now I'm $43 poorer. lol. I'm getting LC coils in the mail in about a week and I'm gunna buy a grinder at Kragen for $20! lol. I'm spending all my money! lmao. As you can tell I'm poor if I think $108 is a lot!!! LMAO (Note: LC coils were $45).

At least I got the things that really matter in life. A good family and smokin' hot girlfriend!!!!!!

I've had clear turn signals for years never had any issues at all legally speaking, but the amber coating on the bulbs is generally poor and usually cooks off more or less within a year so your lights will turn white eventually anyways lol...
As for the water tightness I can't comment on the units in question but I've never noticed any difference between the clears and the stock ones they replaced as far as interior dirt build up goes.

If you got the original OEM markers, chances are the rubber gasket that seals everythings cracked and broken with age anyways, at least mine are. A little bit of household silicone sealant in the channel where the gasket would go should help keep things weathertight.

Actually silicone might be too much because you need to get at the bulb from the front to replace it. You might try a little white lithium grease if the rubber gasket is not too deteriorated it will protect the rubber a bit and help keep out the water.

I got mine off ebay for the yota, the camry and the chevy. And they all worked great, the only complaint on the ones for the yota are that the little rubber seal inbetween the lense and the housing isnt that good and they get dirty if you like the mud!! I sold the camry with them and the chevys are doing great!

Yeah I like the mud. I put some clear silicone around the seal on them so they should stay dry!

holt crap, those pictures look identical almost; same angle and everything! if you didn't know this was a thread about the clear lenses, you'd be think'n " why'd he just post the same picture twice"

lmao

Ok kids, take your green crayon and circle what's different in these two pictures



Look great man, good buy!



EDIT

^ and see I just went back and looked, and I just noticed you did the marker lights on the fenders too; all I saw the first time was the turn signals, lmao
