4th Generation 99 camry clear corners

I live in in the Tampa area and was thinking about buy front clear corners but wanted to make sure if they were legal or not? of course I'd get amber bulbs but I didn't know if the reflector part of it made it legal/illegal? or where i might find it in the local vehicle codes on the law enforcement website.
thanks

Federal DOT regulations requires amber reflectors on each front corner within a certain height of the centher of the headlights. It does not need to be in the corner lights, just anywhere around the area, or sides of the car.

It really depends on your area, whether they really enforce that since a lot of people are getting those kinds of aftermarket corner lights.
Around here in Houston, people still pass safety inspections and no one I know has gotten pulled over for having no yellow reflectors yet.
If you want to play it safe, you can put on small yellow reflectors on the sides of your car around the same general area, or even on the fender like some other cars have stock.

I did the research when I was looking into getting them for my 2000 Camry since I have bad luck with cops and getting pulled over for small stuff like that.
I got a warning to remove my blue cathodes lighting that I had in the front grille, didn't know at the time it's illegal to have any light color other than white to amber in the front. I've seen plenty of other people pass by cops with the same set up and I was the only one who got the warning.

But it is risky and I don't think you should do it.

I have seen plenty get away with it.
It should not be an issue.

i have them and i have the sylvania blue bulbs that blink amber and ive never had any problems

go for it... i highly doubt a cop would give a ticket over that. probably just a warning at the most but even if he does pull you over for something like that then he's just being a dick
