I'm messing with you.

I am not sure that white side turn signals are illegal, I know in texas the front turns can flash white and the actual side marker has to light up amber but his is a turn signal, the rear in texas has to be amber or red

I know blue anywhere would be asking for it but white may be ok

There is a thread on that already. I don't know if anyone HAS actually done it but there was talk of relays that needed to stay open, etc etc.

Search and ye shall find....or someone will pull it up. Maybe me.

Constant power, always on, sidemarker lights w/ switch... ( 1 2)

Hmmmm.Didn't work like I thought it would. Type in Side Marker Lights in the search and it's the only one there.

This thread helped me

I failed a "Warrant of fitness" because the paint on the bulbs of these side indicators had worn off, and they must be amber here.

I replaced my bulbs by taking off the clear plastic cover, changing the bulb and gluing the cover back on.

To break off the cover i got some wire cutters and whacked the back edge where the cover meets the frame, carefully, all the way around. It took about four complete rounds of the rim with increasing vigor and then i was able to break the cover off with my hands.

This may have only worked because they are at least a few years old and the glue was starting to get brittle.

The bulbs were a standard amber 'wedge' bulb that i was able to buy from a local auto parts store for $5

You will want to use a clear glue or it will look nasty on the clear plastic cover.

Really good info! I was wondering about taking off the cover rather than hacking open the housing with a hacksaw. This method seems a bit easier

Actually from my experience the hacksaw approach is WAY EASIER! Trying to get the cover off risks breaking it (trust me, I tried). Although I never saw this thread until now I did mine last year to put in LEDs and used hot glue with zero issues. The nice thing is that with hot glue it holds great, and if you ever need to change the bulbs again you can just twist the top and bottom and break the glue which comes off with your fingers. This makes reglue a snap and it's nice and clean.

Trust me, do the hacksaw method, and use hot glue!
