Default Attention New Jersey drivers with Clear side markers

Hey guys, quick question here. Just wanted to know if clear side markers are legal, or illegal in the state of New Jersey. I finally got the nuts and bolts loose on the driver side, and I want to make sure I'm not going to get pulled over for having these things on with white LED bulbs.

Thanks!

Clear sidemarkers are legal. Just don't put blue lights in there. Keep them orange/white.

its fine to have clear sidemarkers, but if your signals/hazards are anything but amber you can get pulled over. So that means, green blue red white purple anything but amber can get you pulled over.

trust me. I'm not the first to get pulled over for white turn signals...

if its just a light on the side that doesn't blink or signal or anything thats fine to have white too.

signals and hazards must be amber only. Thats the rule

happy modding!

I have yellow like my fogs

For the record just pull your fogs to get to the sidemarkers its easier than pulling the splashguards out.

you will need a 10mm wrench or socket to remove the sidemarkers.

Not true. You can have amber or red. Most cars today are red only and if it was illegal, I'm pretty sure manufacturers would not put red there. Also, I have red on 3 of my cars and no problems...
