Turn Signals, CA Law Options

[CaliJeff]

I was thinking about doing the clear turn signals with the JDM tails.... but found out i can't. DARN.

From California Vehicle Code Book.

24953. (a) Any turn signal system used to give a signal of
intention to turn right or left shall project a flashing white or
amber light visible to the front and a flashing red or amber light
visible to the rear.
(b) Side-mounted turn signal lamps projecting a flashing amber
light to either side may be used to supplement the front and rear
turn signals. Side-mounted turn signal lamps mounted to the rear of
the center of the vehicle may project a flashing red light no part of
which shall be visible from the front.

I might be doing white or yellow signal lights on my clears. I have super white led bulbs for my side markers and haven't got pulled over or in trouble yet. These actually project kinda far too and can even blind you if you stare directly at them in the day light. However, since they are low on the car, they are not a problem. They are like the HIDs of sidemarkers.


California law states that clear or amber is ok for the front, amber or red lights for the rear. Figure white is around "clear". LOL

Go for it. Worst case scenario you get a $10 fix it ticket.
