No it doesn't! Red is perfectly legal for the rear turn signal lights. I'd suggest you look up your local state/city's ordinance though.

All of my bulbs were 7440/7443, not 1156/1157. You must have used the USDM bulbs and harness.

If that's the case I'd use these:

It's OK Dustin. Red is fine in your state:

I have an easy job, with lots of free time to prove dumb punks wrong. Don't say something unless you know it's true. Saying that your rear turn signals have to be amber is the dumbest sh!t I've heard. Look at all the other cars out there that only have red signals. Did they come from the factory illegal?

/yourself

JDM tails aren't approved by the DOT anyway.
