Question Clear vs amber turn signals

I want to replace my bumpers with the Euro style, especially the turbo version for the front. Gert tells me that if I want amber (US) turn indicators, I must get the US style bumper for the front. I see that Robin and others have clear turn indicators on cars in the US.

Has anyone had a legal problem due to the clear signals instead of the amber on a car driven daily?

No problems as long as you install the amber bulbs. I had them on my M3 for 5 years and was stopped on several occasions for no front tag and never once did they question the clear lenses.

Amber bulbs. A simple solution that I never would have thought of. Thanks

You shouldn't have any problem as long as you use amber bulbs. I'm using hyper-white to give a cleaner look (IMO).

clear lenses are more elegant but if you want to get rid of the black bumperettes but stay with an amber lens - that's also possible. None of the ROW cars had the bumperettes and only the c4's, c4s's and Turbos had the clear lenses oe.
