when I had clears, I had the amber lights. I thought they looked pretty good that way.

The camaro is black, and I've painted some of the trimmings blue, so I'm wondering if the corner lights being blue would look good or look like butt.

I can tell you from experience, when I first put the Sylvania Silverstars in my clear corners,.... because they show blue when they're off, I put the blue 194 bulbs in the outside of the lenses, and really liked the way they looked. On the other hand, when it was lit up, it looked ok, but I still liked it more with the ambers.

Have you seen the shots of them in my gallery yet? Just a suggestion.
I guess it depends on if you run the lights during the day or not. If you don't run with them on during the day, go check out those pictures, and imagine them with blue bulbs on the sides.

Havin actual blue bulbs in there will get you pulled over quicker than havin the clear bulbs in.

I had the clear bulbs in mine but I switched to the amber bulbs as well. I think they look better. The clear bulbs don't do it for me...

I just searched for about an hour and could find absolutely nothing about what the rules and regulations are pertaining to vehicle lighting. Where could I look that up?

Like I said... I did a lot of searching and came up with absolutely nothing... apparently all the links to Georgia state laws are dead links.

I went down to the local city hall where they have public computers, and looked up the RCW.Codes for Vehicle lighting. What it said for King County was: Any Vehicles that come with standard amber lighting, must attain the same amber color when replacing with new bulbs.

Now when it comes to newer cars, like some of the high-end stuff (Mercedes or BMW) if they come with something other than amber it's allowed. But basically it says: whatever came in the car for that year, make, and model, they require the same replacements or something equivalant. Personally, I think it's stupid, but then I don't mind the amber. And for me,...I wish I could get mine as bright as the newer Vettes. I can see those posers from a mile away.

Anywho, that's what the RCW. Code states in my area.

I have the Silverstar bulbs in my clear/black corners. They look blue-ish when off, but give off a nice crisp amber light when on:

Arrow Pictures with the Silverstars

Mine seem to be more blue when they're off, hhmmm... I wonder if it's the difference between the black and chrome reflection. Either way, I think they both look good.




At night they're real bright, but I want a bulb that's super bright during the day!
