    You talking about signal lights?? Clear is okay on the front, but thats it. Red and blue a illegal for signal lights.

    I used to have a link to the Alberta gov... Can someone find it??

    I've also have clear bumper lights w/ hyper white indicators for 2 years now. No tickets and plenty of cops have seen them. I guess they don't care.

    Buddy of mine got a ticket for HID in his S2000. Cop thought they were aftermarket and wouldn't believe him.
    He needs to get a sheet that says its factory.

    Peace

    Yeah I've had hyperwhite turns signals and clear bumber lights for a year. I've driven by so many cops at night and during the day so I don't think they really care, unless you have something like red or blue in there.

    By law, you need an orange reflector on the front of the car, visible from the side. And you also need a red reflector on the rear, visible from the side.
