Well if you dont want the amber color at all you need to switch the bulbs. The only problem at that point is that you can get a ticket for the non amber bulbs.

Might not get a ticket for bulbs but will make you a lot more noticeable to police. In my Infiniti I was getting pulled over all the time for random bull **** but never got a ticket. As soon as I put chrome ambers in my sidemarkers, I never got pulled over once.

Well where I am in Boston the cops/state troopers love to bust *****, so they give out tickets for safety violations. The amber lights are to distinguish the front of the vehicle from the rear, in the event of a spin out or accident.

thats a possibility. I wanted to paint mine white but I don't want to have someone blame that for something!
