Is it just me.... ... or do these Orange bulbs behind the clear running lights look stupid? I'm thinking about putting the clear bulbs back in, but it's technically "illegal" here in Hawaii .... (stupid) So it's either risk that, or look stupid. Haha it's not ahard choice, the clear ones should go back in, what do you think?

I agree with you mike3605, I personally would rather have a clear or slightly blueish bulb than an amber one. I remember reading on here somewhere that there is a bulb that is clear but lights up amber, cant find what bulb it is though.

I'm not a fan of the Amber bulbs behind the clear corners. I've just got the stock clear bulbs behind mine...for now.
Shitty thing is, I'm still trying to find clear bulbs that don't light off somewhat off-white/yellowish

I have clear corners and I never put those ugly Yellow bulbs in. Im still using the clear bulbs and all is good and well. I even have a maroon tinted bulb in the front side marker for that extra rice appeal.
I have the sylvania silverstar's in my clear corners. They give off a nice clean amber color. They also look good when they are off. They have a bluish tint. Check them out here

yeah just get the silverstars, they dont have an amber lens, so no nasty orange reflection in the lens housing when they are off. but they light up amber when you are driving, so you are legal. best of both worlds. you can buy them at most any auto store like pep boys, autozone, advance, even wal-mart. it is also a good idea to get the 194 bulbs in chrome. they act in the same manor as the silverstars, they look like little chrome bulbs, so no ugly reflection, but light up amber to stay legal. i installed both of them on my smoked corners, turned out very nice and clean looking. check out the website in the sig for pics. pm for info about the chrome 194's (non-sponsor)

I tried doing that when I put my clear corners on. If you're going to go clear bulbs just make sure you don't use the stock bulbs. They're fuggin ugly when lit up. They light up a very nasty yellow.
I'd say keep the amber though IMO
