Are white/clear L.E.D sidelight bulbs legal?

Was thinking of changing them?

Any thoughts?

Thanks

[s_ward1]

[marcusd]

yea white or that shit yellow is fine any other colour is asking for a pull

[s_ward1]

orange light? not idicators i'm on about sidelight bulbs

[DavidsVTR]

they have to show orange light. otherwise why do they get made if u can use any old colour

I think he's talking about side lights, not indicators

Sidelights have to show orange? Err.....:wacko:


Ross, any info on why they're not legal? I'm curious as they don't seem to be much different from the conventional halogen sidelight bulb. Or is it just the fact they shine bright white?

[Ross]

I'm talking shit. I misread it that he was talking about side repeaters. Which have to be orange. Sidelights (actually "position lamps") can be white without problem. My bad. :homme:
