Question Will I get pulled over for clear blinker bulb in rear?

My RS already has clear front blinkers and sidemarkers with clear bulbs in them, if I throw a clear blinker bulb in my JDM tails what are my odds of being pulled over for that? Its not too big of a deal I'd just like all the blinkers to be clear so the front matches the rear.

probably not, but red is safer...its legal and it still matches your taillights, unlike amber..

you're supposed to put amber bulbs in clear turn signals, no?

clear or amber is legal in the front

red or amber is legal in the rear

Red is not legal in the front, Clear is not legal in the rear.

Well I swung by Kragen since they are right by my house and all they had were clear and orange bulbs. The only red ones were the tiny ones that shine on the rear license plate. Where can I find some larger sized red bulbs since I might as well not bother with clear.

Oh well even pep boys didn't have the right type of red bulbs... I guess the ones in my JDM's have different fitment.
