Yeah "the pumpkins" mine are clear but it's lit,
Cop say's "you don't have orange reflector sticker on your car"... told him that on economy cars they use a reflector sticker... on high-end cars they design a flush mounted lens, with reflector housing and a bulb... "tell it to the judge"

I think the cops love you more than everyone else.
"than everyone else"...
You mean somebody looooooves me?

hahaha

well, I liked 2 but thought the corners closest to the front of the car didnt follow the lines as well... then I just looks at the overall colors and thought - less is more....one color -vs- two

it might be easier to do #2 since your already white on top (old man!)

If you have an amber-emitting bulb in your sidemarkers you're legal and should fight the ticket. The lens itself does not have to be amber.

#2, I like #1 from that back corner perspective but from straight behind, I like #2.

I'd check your QC Highway traffic act for reflector requirements...........

For those offering legal opinions on the lighting and reflectors for Sid, I hope you noticed he is from Montreal...

you bet man, I have watched you do some some things I didnt think would work out and you pull it off in a cool way, your car is so lucky to have you as an owner - which ever you do, i am sure the results will be complimentary to the rest of your work - awesome as always!

The Wiki article shows international manufacturing regulations with special mention of North America where appropriate. It's possible that there are local provisions not listed, but those mostly apply to daytime running lights.
