^^ I still have mine but I just may keep it. I had an issue last year because DMV failed me for having my clear corners. I worked around it but I think I'll keep mine just in case. I would also check the classifieds to perhaps see if someone is selling theirs.

with passing inspection and all the dmv loop holes, just put in orange bulbs. unless they really look for the DOT stamp, which they have never once done in all my years and all my cars. but hey theres always a first.

^^Changing the bulbs to orange was not good enough. The actual lens had to be orange. They noted it in the system after they failed me.

Ya, i like the OEM orange. Looks more JDM. I'm keeping the orange till I delete the clear corners altogether. As for myself, I think clear corners don't look right on the GS.

Agree 100%
In the integra the JDM Turn Signal Are Amber Orange, not clear...so thats why im going to stick with the orange side marker, but does the artisto come with side markers?? or orange ones?? or what.

yea, easy fix. 1/4 inch driver with 10mm socket will definitely help - smaller

but on a side note:

If you like the clear look but want the amber at night, go with the amber 9-15 LEDs. Bright amber!

OEM at night and nice and clean during the day!

I'm going with tinted clear side markers with an orange bulb to keep it legal.

I think that'll look good without having to delete.

Someone correct me if I'm worng, but I believe the J-Spec Aristos come OEM with deleted clear corners. I think Lexus puts the clear corners on US-Spec GSs' b/c the US DOT requires it.

I used the clear one that looks oem (not see through) and used piaa ion yellow bulbs in there. Now it matches the yellow fogs almost perfect.
