If you want I'll swap mine with yours Josh. We each pay for our own shipping but it's direct swap. Mine has arc reactor v1 , tsx clear lense, and no amber

 

Go for it Josh if you think the cops won't hassle you.

 

do u have pix?

 

My entire headlights are blacked out save the fog light reflectors, and i haven't had any trouble with the police yet (knock on wood)

 

Everyone seems to be only worried about the cops ticketing a driver with this illegal mod. What about the safety issue, i.e., the reason for requiring front amber lights in the first place? I know it’s a stretch, but if you ever get t-boned one night because the other driver could not correctly determine your direction of travel, you would be toast to any insurance company.

 

^^ I am gonna make it still light up in a way it should be.
Just like how they do in korea, sidemarkers are in silver/white color, but it will light up yellow. (may be I need to change the bulb cuz ones already in there will light up just halogan.)

 

can I please see the pic?

basically i wanna swap the sidemarker thats all.

 

most of the time I agree with your safety points Chekov, but on this one I am going to have to disagree.

I understand the intent of the sidemarker, in that it is supposed to aid in seeing the car from the side. However, if someone hit you because they couldn't tell which way you were going, I very sincerely doubt that sidemarker would ever make a difference. Someone has bigger problems if it takes a 6 inch faintly illuminated light to indicate to someone that a 15' 2ton car is moving. Plus the fact that people (I don't like generalizations so take this with a grain of salt) are normally not looking down at the lights, they are looking at head level while driving (if they are even looking at the road at all)

 

Well, I said it was a stretch. But your post seems to suggest there is no reason at all to have this law. If the amber/front red/rear side marker law makes no difference in preventing accidents, then why does it exist?

 

personally, I dont think the amber side marker law should exist. There are plenty of laws, several auto related, that I believe have zero (or very very little) factual basis. I honestly don't think those side markers have any effect by themselves at preventing or allowing accidents

 

Clueless politicians. They can't be experts on everything, unfortunately. I guess there simply aren't enough lobbyists for fighting senseless automotive laws.

Personally, when I do eventually get my headlights painted, I'm going to only smoke the reflector, from the outside so that light is still visible from it. Honestly, I never drive with my lights off anyways, so aesthetics-wise, it wouldn't make a difference.

 

Well, I can’t argue how effective this law is, but I inherently think there is a reason. It’s sort of what is done for both aviation and ships at sea. All airplanes, for example, must have a red light on the left wing tip, a green one on the right, and a white light on the tail. Additionally there must be a red rotating beacon on top somewhere. In this way a pilot at night can easily see if another aircraft is approaching, going in the same direction, or is at some other relative position. I imagine the writers of the vehicle law had a similar thing in mind.

 

So Igor, can you make the clear one out of the amber ones?
Like the OEM in Europe or in Aisa, they are just clear / transparents sidemarkers

 

Not BLk or Carbon fiber ones
