Default friend just got ticketed for clear corners

...the reflectors. he drives a corolla and him and i cleared the corners, we kept the amber bulbs. he got ticketed for the clear corners.. this is the first time i'm hearing of this. i'm running valeo's so by the ruling, i would get a ticket. he lives in fremont and i'm in socal, but is this just bull**** or what? i remember one site where they lsited all the legal things we can do to our cars, including clear corners. if anyone can link me, i'd appreciate it, he's going to court this too.

IIRC you have to have at least 1 amber reflector in the front of the car(each side)

Some cops will ticket you for everything... it just sucks if you meet up with one

Default You NEED reflectors on the front of your car - they dont have to be in the corners tho

Thats federal DOT spec. I don't have any of course.

good link, but not an exhaustive list - you still need front amber reflectors
