Question t/a clear driving lights??

anyone know where i can get a pair of clear driving lights to replace the yellow ones. i've seen trans ams that don't have to flip up their lights at night cause they use the fog and clear driving lights. Can you turn them on and off with some re-wiring??

umm, shouldn't it just be a matter of changing them out for clear bulbs? the housing is already clear.

Talking thanks for "clearing" that up for me

guess you're right about the housing

I rent a garage few miles from my place and don't get to look at my t/a that often.

ever hear of people rewiring so they can regulate them on/off?

I'm gonna nightshade mine, they are new with new amber bulbs...

But does anyone know if this is illegal? The functionality of the unit will be unaffected, of course.

Question Which car in this forum would be truly legal anyway??

i don't think they are legal but do cops really know that t/a's have driving lights??
I have seen videos of t/a's racing at night with only fog and (white) driving lights and they lit up the road fine. With some good bulbs i won't have to flip up the headlights, making the car less aerodynamic and puts strain on the plastic gears that will have to be replaced with brass ones.

I also saw a t/a with extra fog lights under the driving lights: very nice, no intended

I have a dream
better aerodynamic better gas mileage so a $1000 later problem solved.

Reality is I wouldn't drive without my headlight on at night hence my non-popups.
