WTB red side marker for my Firestorm FR-S

White looks great, but I feel like a red side marker would be super clean. My question is if anyone has heard of this and or if it's legal?

yup, would be a nicer look if the covers were red. Owning a firestorm FR-S would make these a great idea if i can figure out how to do it.

As far as legal goes no it isn't legal. Clearance lights/ side markers are supposed to be Amber by law. However, majority of cops won't stop your for it let alone know that it isn't stock.

You can get the clear ones and get that red tint and tint it.

my bad, only read the thread title, didnt even read what wrote , but yeah like the other guys said... it would be illegal, the only legal side markers are white markers with amber light or the stock ambers
