Your gonna still have the orange reflector in there unless you change to some aftermarket stuff. But yes your bulb can be white and shine mostly white except behind your orange reflector.

Agreed. Why give yourself the headache with the authorities?!
At best, get a JDM hookup for the clear corners and install amber bulbs (and if you find such a hookup, you'll be the most popular person amongst the 3rd geners ).

With all due respect, it's a Lexus and not a Christmas tree.
Replacing conventional bulbs with LEDs is kewl and even updates the car, but placing needless lighting around the car...I'll stop...maybe you're thinking of something tasteful and useful instead of gaudy.

Do you have a photo or something of the LED setup that's inspired you?

I agree. Just get clear corner lights and go with a LED amber bulb.

I had the LED white bulbs when I had clear corners and it almost made it look like a HID white but it was extremely hard to see during the day, hence not safe for other drivers.

Not to be an azz but just my 2 cents, keep it clean and classy, not ricey and trashy.

well I wasent saying that. If you wanna go with something a little different you can go clear corners with the amber led bulbs. That way it looks clear until you signal. Or you can go with a white led. Looks good at night but know that it will be hard to see during the day.

I'll see if I have any pictures of my corners from what they were before until now.

I have clear corners with chromed amber bulbs. They're practically invisible when they're not lit up, but show amber when they're on.
