just a quick question...when I get the clear side markers, do I need to get different bulbs? I don't want any b.s. tickets! Also, if I need to get bulbs, I wanna get them right away while I've got the bumper apart! Thanks all-

 

the sidemarkers do not light up... meaning no bulbs.

however regaurdless of what you do, clear sidemarkers are illegal and you can be ticketed for them. I believe it is a law that the car reflect or illuminate amber from the front side, and reflect red from the back side.

white is reserved for the front of the car(or the back if you are backing up, since that would technically be the front then)

 

I believe if they light up in Amber that'll be fine. Look at the tail lights of the NEW 2004 Lexus RX, they are totally white/clear!



Here is Evo-R's version of the Concept Z front reflector LED and Z4 side LED marker.
