cool. I did not know that. So wouldnt that make all those Altezza type lights technically illegal as well? Or are those the same as the euro tails? And I had no idea there were legal issues with clear corners either.
They are just taking all the fun out of everything.

clear corners fall victim to the fact that there are supposed to be amber reflectors in the front markers-- most get by with amber bulbs.

This varies by state... Oregon, Washington, and California do not require any type of reflector at all on the front/side. Only commercial vehicles are required to have front/side reflectors.
Oregon doesn't require the front turn signals to be amber, it allows white... Washington says it must emit yellow/amber.

I doubt it. The laws state how/when/where things are to be mounted. If they said it has to be OEM, that's basically saying that the manufacturer can determine what is acceptable and what is not...
I checked the laws for Oregon, Washington, and California, and none of these states have such a requirement. They simply state that the rear reflectors must be big enough to be clearly visible from ~50ft to ~600ft depending on state. They also state that the reflector must be no lower than 15 inches from the ground an no higher than 60-72" from the ground, depending on state.
These three states also expicitely mention the reflectors being plainly visible at *night* from these distances... They don't mention anything about during the day.
