Default Anyone get pulled over for LED corners?

I have no idea the laws but I don't think I would get in trouble for them. Mine are clear colored. Anyone have any input on this, I thought I remembered seeing a thread mentioning this but I can't find it.

Not that, but you can just say they're optional driving lights from Nissan to increase visibility.

Hopefully, you don't get a cop that's a big Nissan Z fan.

So long as they're white or amber, I believe you are with in the law in every state as far as I know. I've shipped out many headlights with various colors and haven't heard anything about them being pulled over while having the white turned on. Course if it's colored (blue, red, green, etc.), those go on a switch cause YOU WILL get pulled over for that.

White LED corners for about a year in NYC... never had a single issue

Like others have said, since its on the front, as long as its white or amber it can be called a driving light

Thats what I though, as long as it was not red or blue to resemble cop colors I would be ok.

Thanks!

Keep in mind that many "cool white" LEDs have a slight blue tint. That is considered illegal and you can get pulled over for it. But here in our state, cops generally don't bother with little crap like that (dark tint, missing front plate, etc.) so I'd say you will be fine. To be 100% safe, just get the "warm white" shade. BTW, my own reflector LEDs have been the cooler kind and I never had an issue with cops. I am, however, replacing them for a whole different front look

I had blue LED corners for quite a while and never was pulled over (however it is against the law, i was just lucky, lol). the only reason i changed to amber is because one of the blue LED's blew...no pun intended. Now the 4 LED's that are in my headlights are blue....we'll see what happens...
