actually, the reflector part needs to be amber, not just the light that emits from a side marker. this is why even though JDM/Euro cars have "clear/white" reflectors, when they become DOT-approved they all change to amber/orange reflectors up front.
that said though, having amber bulbs light up behind the clear side marker definitely reduces the chance of a ticket A LOT, to almost zero. but if the cop wants to be a d*ck, he can still give you a fix-it ticket for that. that's why you'll never see a DOT-approved clear/white side marker.
