I don't want to have to switch out all the components from my stock headlights because I would have to switch back to stock at least once a year.

You'd have to buy the parts from the dealer or maybe some place like the partsbin. Bulbs and all.

Because clear corners are illegal in HI.

Default Question along the same line...

As far as I can tell, the only requirement is to have an orange reflector at the front somewhere. Would a piece of reflective tape somewhere on the side of the fender or bumper fit the requirement? I ask because I have been looking at the Mits Lancer I believe and it has clear headlights. TIA

I think as long as it blinks yellow, you're okay.

Default Are you sure. I thought that as long as it blinks amber...

you're okay. This means you can even put in a clear bulb that blinks amber. That is the sweetest look. These are the bulbs that Mark P is using...

A yellow reflector is required. Clear lens w/yellow bulbs still gets you a ticket.
