The side repeaters are not mandated in NJ.. but I believe they have to flash amber... so as long as you have amber lamps in there, you are fine.

As for the corner lights. you are supposed to have an amber reflector at the front side of the car. I have never been stopped for having clear corners though. I have had them in NJ for more than 5 years between my two cars.

Keep the ambers safe if you are paranoid about being stopped. they will at most write you a "fix it" ticket and you can get out of it (sometimes) by proving you put the ones with the reflector in

I run clear (not the crystal clear style, the stock look but clear) sides, corners, and rears on my car. NEVER been pulled for them and I have euro-clear (white) bubls in all of them. It depends on the cops, as I know they are supposed to be amber. :)

Just get some stealth bulbs. They look clear but flash amber.

IMO clear looks tacky. Spray paint some regular amber ones silver, spray paint and bulbs still cost less than one stealth bulb, and you have enough spray paint to paint new bulbs when the ones you have burn out.
