same in Hawaii, I think amber is the only legal color. I used to have white on my 1st gen, never got pulled over for the blinkers though. yellow is also a nice alternative, cops dont usually notice the difference unless its blinking crazy fast.

Yes, as long as the ignition key is in the ON position.

Clear side markers:

Here's a thread on it:

You have to bake your headlights open to replace the amber with the clear.

Do you think you could post a quick DIY on this?

load resistors are horrific and get really frickin hot. just get a new flasher that supports led lighting

I guess it all depends on what use each person values, and each states laws. I know you value the flashing lights when you use your remote, and that's great. In Cali it's not legal to drive with only your parking lights unless the forward facing turn signals can be demonstrated to serve as white daytime running lights. These dual turn signal bulbs serve that function for me, so I chose to give up the remote flashes in order to gain that additional functionality... plus they do look really good. :D

Or even Pick-N-Pull.
