Has anyone tried the black corners?

I've gotten plenty of tickets with super white, red led's.....and most definately blue turn signal bulbs on the front and rear......good thing I'm coo with one cop that writes them off when I give him the tickets I use to get on a daily basis.......just a real pain in the @$$ changing them back and forth everytime......call me old fashion but I actually like the amber bulbs better now at night.......and less of a hassle.

Well, they only blink when my blinkers on, not constantly. I haven't got any tickets yet and I didn't when I had bright lights on my old car. Maybe because this is a newer one, I might now. Oh well, ticket, schmicket. I'll deserve it then! lol I can't stand that ugly amber color. I guess its just depends on your personal preference.

I can't see why red corner bulbs are bad? Its usually either amber or white. Amber is ugly and white is too plain. Red LED is good. Now all I need are resistors to stop that annoying hyper blinking...

ugh, stay with legal amber, unless you like being hassled by cops.

i have these bulbs, they really make the clear corners look nice and they're street legal.



oh and to stay on topic and give my two cents, i would never get black corners without fully black headlights to match.

Yeah, I have the black corners on now and I'm still debating if I want to go back to the stock lens or buy the clear ones...The stock corner lens is still good-looking, as well as the stock tail lights. I don't think I'd go the way of the altezzas. Also, those amber bulbs do look good. I'd probably revert back to the amber bulbs when and if I get pulled over by the cops. For now, I'd stick with red. Just put in resistors to stop the insane blinking. They work good and would, I think, cut down the chances of getting stopped.
