Are you sure that's right? You're sure the housing has to be amber? Because the clear corners should have come with amber bulbs.

I'd either put the factory ones back in or find a friendly inspection

Why don't you just get a set of amber ones....put them on to pass inspection and then put the clear ones back on.

They're not that expensive and only take a couple of minutes to change.....
