Probably not amber like they are supposed to be...

My friend got a 34$ ticket for his side markers and a 34$ ticket for his license plate light last weekend (neither of them worked)...kinda sucks, but my friend wasn't too upset...my brother who was with him was pretty mad though cause they were stupid tickets...only modification this guy has was that he was lowered...no ticket for that though

How loud is your exhust?

Hey, where can I get clears for the front end of my car??? I already have semi-clears, but I think it'd look even better without that little hint of yellow at the very corner.

[Stratus_Power]

that are doing a damn good job... you never know.. one day those clear corners can kill someone

[RickDaTuner]

well they say that the hyper white bulb blind people, and cause accidents i got a tickest once for having Hypers on my clear tailights, well actually my dad did whne he was driving my beast

My Car is loud...I will get pulled over in due time. Why bother knock on wood, its inevitable.

I think I saw 15 cop cars today, I only spent about an hour on the road, that's crazy.

Yah sucks to get pulled over but you have to really look at your car and think is this really street legal. And if it isn't you can't really complain about getting the tickets . And there is a noise bylaw for exhausts. Even those old beaters can get a ticket for noise pollution (Don't think its all about rice).

Oh and I've talked to cops about getting pulled over so damn much in the NE and he basically said well if they see a young guy or gal drivin a nice car they will pull it over just to make sure its not stolen, because of the high theft rates.

I thought they had to be amber?

Man I've been speeding everywhere showing off my exhaust, taking corners at high-speed and generally always going 45km/h over the speed limit... and I get nothing. Granted I'm "happy" I haven't been getting any tickets... but shit... I've got this sense when I think a cop is around... and I'm generally right... LOL... just ask Melinda! LOL

Be safe out there... and remember... if they can't see you, then it's not illegal!

Words of a dumbass

I was told that in Edmonton ( i'm sure it's the same for the rest of AB) that if your turn signals are any other colour other than amber or red-back and you are in an accident it's automatically your fault, because other colours are illegal. ( I think it has something to do wth colourblindness... maybe that's just a stupid guess). As for sidemarkers, I have blue led's on all four courners and I haven't been stopped for them yet... have a neon plate frame, tinted windows, and noisy exhaust, plus nasty blue headlights.... So far, so good. I say to stay out of sight of the cops you just need to drive reasonably and dont "act out" or they'll pull you over for fun.

[redbaron303]

That reminds me, my turn signals are still amber, so they can't give me a ticket for side markers, because they aren't used as turn signals, they're constantly on and don't flash, which I was told makes them legal here.

What about VW who have factory side markets, in white and amber???

I think they only come in amber, I think the white are aftermarket...Peter may be your best person to ask though...
