Clear turn signals legal?
Hey guys. Im considering purchasing white led turn signals for my side markers and my front turn signals. However, I cant seem to find solid proof that this is legal in New Jersey. I keep hearing yes and no. Can anyone help me verify this? Thanks!

I got a ticket for having white turning signals on my old car here in Longisland NY. He states it's a distraction and gave me a ticket for equipment violation.

Sidemarker there's no clear information on, that can be clear. Up front you can have amber. Clear is the safest out of all the other colors to use, but it's not technically "street legal". Since most clear/white have a bluish tint, just be careful as if an officer truly wants to, they could argue that they're blue and nail you for having a "flashing blue light" in the front which is designated for PD/FF. Out back, amber or red are legal. You'll need to get pulled over for a moving violation for them to cite you, they can't just pull you over for the lights - unless it's a front facing, blinking Blue, Red, or Green. Of note - red up front that blinks, you could get into serious trouble for as that could be perceived as imitating an emergency vehicle - even if it's only just your turn signal. So white up front, legal, as long as no blue tint. Will you get nailed for it, probably not. Side marker should be safe. Just no Red, Blue, or green up front! Good luck!

They're legal I believe.
39:3-50. All lamps and reflectors, which display a light visible from directly in front of a vehicle as authorized by this subtitle, shall exhibit lights substantially white, yellow or amber in color. (a)The color of light emitted or reflected by exterior lamps or reflectors on a vehicle shall be as follows, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this section: White when the lamp is a headlamp, or spot lamp, or illuminates a license plate or a destination sign; or is located on the outside limit of a side car or other attachment on a motor cycle; Substantially white or amber when the lamp is a side-cowl or fender lamp, running-board or other courtesy lamp, front parking lamp, back-up lamp, auxiliary driving lamp; or a turn signal on or facing the front; Substantially red or amber when the lamp is a turn signal or a stop lamp on or facing the rear; Red when any other lamp or any reflector is on the rear or on either side at or near the rear, except as otherwise provided in paragraph (f) of section 39:3-61 for a combination marker lamp; Amber when any other lamp or reflector is on the front or on either side other than at or near the rear. (b)Lamps and reflectors on projecting loads shall emit or reflect light with color as provided in section 10 of this act. (c)No person shall drive or move any vehicle or equipment upon any street or highway equipped with any device or lamp thereon capable of or displaying a light of any other color than permitted by this section, except: an authorized emergency vehicle, an authorized school bus, or a vehicle authorized by a permit issued by the chief administrator. (d)A permit authorizing a vehicle to be equipped with a lamp capable of or displaying a flashing light, except as provided in 39:3-54 or a light of a color other than permitted by this section, visible from directly in front of said vehicle, may be issued by the director when necessary, in his discretion, for the reasonable and safe movement of traffic. The permit shall specify the type and color of such lamp and the conditions under which a person may drive or move the vehicle with said lamp displaying a light. The permit shall be valid only when the specifications and conditions contained therein are complied with. The chief administrator shall collect a $25 fee for the initial issuance and for each subsequent renewal of the permit for each vehicle for which the applicant seeks to use such a light, provided, however, that no fee shall be charged for a permit authorizing the use of a light that is red or blue. The fee set forth in this section shall not apply to a motor vehicle registered at no fee pursuant to R.S.39:3-27. The fees collected pursuant to this section shall be considered revenue of the commission and shall not be subject to the calculation of proportional revenue remitted to the commission pursuant to section 105 of P.L.2003, c.13 (C.39:2A-36). The chief administrator may cancel or revoke a permit issued under authority of this section whenever the conditions for its issuance no longer exist or on any other reasonable grounds. Amended 1951, c.24; 1964, c.136, s.3; 2007, c.242, s.5. Source: http://lis.njleg.state.nj.us/cgi-bin...&x=60&y=16&zz=
