Legal Side Marker Color

[manorness7]

I live in NY and I can't seem to find anywhere about what color the clear side markers "need" to be. Obviously amber is what it is supposed to be but can they be led white, or blue?

I'm thinking about white because blue would most likely be illegal.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about the turn signals on the side of the car just in front of the doors? Mine have blue LED's and I haven't been harassed yet.

Yeah that's what I am talking about, wanted to know what was a legal color

My guess is orange, that's why all side markers are orange, except the rear which obviously are red...I'll ask one of my cop buddies the next time I see one.

they have to illuminate in amber if on the front half of the car, and red if on the back half of the car.

I put blue leds in them about a week ago, they look pretty sweet. I really don't think I'll get bothered for it either.

blue is a police only color according to michigan motor vehicle code. I'm pretty sure also nationwide b/c of police cars.

+1 All 50 states your marker lights must illuminate amber.

did you guys just use leds? or is there a special bulb?
