Do i need orange bulbs if i install clear corner lights?
 
I just ordered clear corner side markers, do I need to purchase orange bulbs
so that it's legal? I've searched the site but cant find an ansewer.

Yes. You must have colored blinkers.

I would assume.......... we know what that is worth,.... if you are in the States, yes. Not all States have the same lighting requirements, that is where you need to look.

I have a fairly tuned Honda S2000 and a lot of the guys like to go to the clear signals to give it the JDM look and they all end up buying orange bulbs...

A quick search found these results;

Florida Statute 316.234 requires front turn signal lights to be white or amber and rear turn signal lights to be red or amber. The lights must be visible from 500 feet away in normal sunlight.

You guys are THE BEST, thanks for your replies. I got into this going full LED kick and it's never ending, I got Putco's LED interior kit, then I found that Putco made an LED replacement bulb for the fog lights. They look FANTASTIC, but now my headlights look like crap. I purchased PHILIPS Crystal Vision Ultra H13/9008 Xenon Look Performance halogen bulbs. They where a little brighter than OE, but not even close to the LEDs in the fogs. I am looking at one of these three, Silvania Silver Star ZXE,
Nokya Artic White H13 (stage 1) or PIAA 10926 9006 Intense White-51w=115w.
I just don't want to go the Xenon conversion route, but want to match that LED look from the fogs as much as possible. Thanks again.

I am surprised that the new LED's in your fog lights are brighter than the halogen bulbs.
What is the lumen output of those LED emitters ? Are there more than one emitter per housing ?
Send a link if you have one
Thanks

And yes, it is a super white LED that makes the headlights look yellow, dim and dull.
I took pics, im trying to figure out how to download them.....

I did check them out and they seem pretty nice.
However, whiter light does not necessarily brighter intensity, i.e. lumen output.

The web site states they are 600 lumens, which is below the halogen H10 bulb output
of 800 lumens.
That being said, longer running time could easily out weigh the brightness issue.
Cree emitters are some of the best on the current market
