Usually, yes. But what’s your point? If you’re saying that I do that you would be mistaken.
You may have seen some of my past posts where I describe how to drive our freeways without getting a ticket. Yes, in my youth I got my share, but I haven’t had one in 22 years now.

Magellen, I think you are misunderstanding my point. I said i don't care about the law, but i never said i was going to break every single law there is. I'm sure everyone is just a hypocrite just like me. A LMS intake isn't street legal, so i guess I'm breaking the law. But i think that the white sidemarkers bulbs look better than amber, but that's my point of view. Mods can close this thread now.

igofast,
So which laws are you going to break? And what criteria do you use to decide? How about some simple stuff—like lying to a judge in traffic court; cheating an insurance company; getting a fake doctor’s note to justify illegal tints? These are all topics that have been justified by some on CL.
And please, not “everyone is just a hypocrite just like you”. That’s an insult to nerds like me who try to obey all laws, and if we don't it's by accident.
And while I’m at it, there’s a reason for the side lighting laws. It’s a safety thing. I understand it’s to better identify the placement and movement of other cars at night. For that matter, all these equipment laws have a purpose, and I believe it’s irresponsible for anyone to think it’s OK to violate them.

If you want things to stay safe, go be another bubble boy and live in there forever. Seriously i wanted to know 1 simple thing and this guy brings it to another level on 'explaining his theories on safety'. Thanks but i don't need it from you. I'll get my share when i get caught doing something stupid.
Seeing your profile you are 71. If you aren't lying about that age i'm sure you had your share of thrills when you were 19. Let me have mine.

I sincerely hope you will understand more of what it is to be a responsible adult as you mature. But for now, let’s leave it as it is and hope for the best. Yes, I am 71 and it's way past my bed time.

Lets just get back on topic...
To each Their Own for mods, Legal or illegal
But i think white isnt illegal for sidemarkers, ive seen Benz with white turn signals on the mirrors, its not like the sidemarkers are on 24/7 its only on when you turn on your turn signals.
if someone wants to experiment with changing out the bulb inside the sidemarkers, im sure it would be possible.

Federal Side Marker Law
Furthermore, they should be on with the parking or headlights. Although permitted, it is not necessary to have them flash with turn signals.

I gotta take a look at my buddys TL-S and see what color his sidemarkers are. but im pretty sure Cops wont pull you over for the different light color.
Lets just agree that changing the color of the sidemarkers can be illegal and its up to the owner to have the judgment to do as they please even if it is against the law.
I think doing red-outs are illegal to since the light is no longer amber but red.

igofast, i would keep it orange. or change to halogen white if possible.
once again, another super duper conservative 2IS argument
.
this thread isn't about how legal or safe sidemarker and bulbs are, but if it is possible to change sidemarker bulbs. all you pansies that have a problem with this mod or any other extremem mods, stick with the red outs and led interior lights threads.

Go out tonight, turn on the lights, and look at your car from either side. See? You will notice that all federal requirements have been met for amber in the front and red in the rear that can be seen from the sides. And it's done with a nice, clean look without poking holes in your fenders as was done in some older cars.
So what is it you “need” to add on?
