I think the clear reflectors work better IMO. I also have hyper white turns in the rear which can barely be seen during the day but shine like hell at night and never had a problem...Even when I was pulled over for speeding the officer said nothing about them. But he was pretty cool.

 

I know for sure is federal law that requires the amber reflectors and lights at the front, but having a black car myself I understand your pain. Although my car is of a different brand I bought some covers that are body colored and put those in. The car looks so much better now with such a simple change. You can always have a body shop fill the holes and match the paint color of your car to make it look factory clean.

 

I think it's a state-by-state thing.

I've had my white frosted ones in for better than a year.

From the CA VC:

Color of Lamps and Reflectors

25950. This section applies to the color of lamps and to any reflector exhibiting or reflecting perceptible light of 0.05 candela or more per foot-candle of incident illumination. Unless provided otherwise, the color of lamps and reflectors upon a vehicle shall be as follows:

(a) The emitted light from all lamps and the reflected light from all reflectors, visible from in front of a vehicle, shall be white or yellow, except as follows: ... blah blah blah ...

 

i also have a black z and hated the reflectors.i just masked around them and got some color match spraypaint, and presto! no reflectors...

 

Wouldn't it be ok if you have the amber strip next to front lights?

 

its the law, but do you plan on not speeding either?

 

'06 headlights have no amber strip

 

get a 05 headlight then.

 

no no.. the point is to not have amber color anywhere on the car.

 

I think you'll be ok, especially if you keep the amber strip in the headlights.

I had this happen in my Prelude. Sidemarkers were clear, but I had LED's in them and they had a bluish tint and I got a tkt for "unauthorized" blue lights.

 

If you do need to go back to amber just go to Pepboys and buy the amber colored tape to fix temporarily broken tail/head lights. AKA Mexican tail lights.

 

ill trade you my 05 headlights with the amber strip for your 06 headlights with no amber strips

 

ok i'll trade you my '06 headlights for your '05 headlights with the amber strip if you trade me your Z for my '99 Maxima.

 

If they dont get you for that it will for something else, so I say **** it!

 

Umm...no. Xenon.

 

Same ****... really really bright headlights.

 

The problem here in Colorado is that some criminals have been running around masquerading as cops using flashing lights on plain wraper cars. They've tried to assault and rob victims (usually women) at night and this is a legit reason why there is concern with the colors. I've had the white side reflectors on my '03 Redline and never had a problem with being hassled for it. But ANYONE caught with flashing white or blue lights visible from the front of their car is going to be up against it!

 

And it is a very valid reason. But in the case with my friends license plate light, this was an offblue, almost white... like a really bright sky-blue. It in absolutely no way resembeled the deep blue colors of cop car lights, and was not nearly as bright as cop car lights. You'd have to be a FOOL to falsely label that as a cop, and if you are, you shouldn't be on the road to begin with.

 

Makes absolutely no difference. It isn't about someone considering your car as a cop car due to the license plate lights. It's about legal vs. illegal colors and an officer is perfectly within his/her right to write you up for it. White reflectors are illegal too, and no one on this thread is saying otherwise. It's just that most officers don't bother with it. If they do, they would have the right to that as well. End of story.

 

nick you wont pulled over for not having a amber reflector on ur car.....at porsche we sell the cars w/o them.
