Or you could just buy PIAA bulbs which I'm sure would look great. Jon

just a quick reminder: Most states its illegal to have clear turn signals with white bulbs. Not to be a grouch, but my friend got busted for it, had to take them off, and pay a fine. Just check with your DMV.

If the bulbs have any sort of a bluish tint however, they're considered illegal and you can get pulled over for them. I used to have Polarg hyperwhite bulbs in both my turn signals and side markers, but I got pulled over for them, so now they're gone and I just have amber colored bulbs in there. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Orange tinted light bulb will remedy that, still looks good when its off and still legal when its on.

I'm using PIAA Plasma White bulbs; perfect color temperature map

and scooby- white is legal in california; your friend should have been familiar with the CA laws.. here's the link: http://www.chp.ca.gov/html/streetlegal.html

Incorrect color of turn signal. It must be white or yellow to the front, red or yellow to the rear (24953 VC).

and sidemarkers:

QUOTE

Illegal color of side marker lights. If present, must be yellow in the front and red in the rear (25106, 24003 VC).

Thats where you could get in trouble- but since a majority of european vehicles have blue or white sidemarker lights OEM, that section of the vehicle code has been declared almost unenforceable, and a violation would be thrown out of court.
