Default Turn signal clear covers

I saw in another thread that ls1impulse said he can order clear-cover turn signals if there is a bulk order. Put me down! What is the cost?

Also, are having those technically illegal? Do "switchbacks" fix the problem?

Thanks!

AFAIK they are technically illegal as you need an amber reflector. Of course, having an amber bulb would make the argument null and void, but those are the rules.

Equipment laws vary from state to state - if the OP is concerned about compliance with the vehicle statutes in his state, I would suggest you check with your local authorities.

I have clear corners and have run them for a couple of years. I use tower switchbacks, so my turnsignals are amber, only the parking lights are white.

Forum moderators put the other thread to a stop since I am not a vendor; I'll see what I can do; maybe have a current vendor run this for everyone.

Back in my old Honda modifying days, a company made bulbs that were silver coated, but glowed amber when activated. Perfect for clear lenses.

I'll do some research.
