I assume the stealth bulbs are for looks during the day, and then at night you still retain the orange for the safety reasons???? Or is it against the law to not have an orange bulb in the sidemarker???

I have the Orange stealth bulb in there right now that came with the clear side markers, but was just curious to see how many of you put in a clear type bulb like a Polarg or something so then at night you still have the "all white xeonon" look in the front with no orange bulb lights showing whatsoever...

if anybody has pics of a clear bulb installed in the sidemarker at night, please share!

My clear side markers didn't even come with a chromed bulb, so I have the orange yolk look.
I'll replace them with polargs when I do my eyelids and license plate lights.

You sure are making lots of threads recently...

Not sure if they're legal or not, but I've seen them on some C's on these forums before.
