Yes, blinkers need to be some sort of red or orange, the fronts must be orange, and the rears have to be either red or orange, either you can have the front blinkers clear, but you must have an orange bulb, I don't know why, and Custom Intakes shouldn't be illigal, because if they were Illigal, every performance company like AEM and Iceman would be put out of buisness for good. For the rear tail lights, You must have 3 colors I belive, The brake light MUST have a red lens, no mater what color bulb you have, it must be red, the tail light blinker can be clear with an orange bulb. MUST HAVE orange bulb, front blinkers can be clear also, but must have orange bulb. People here get pulled over all the time for the clear tail lights, The Clear Tail Lights are Illigal, and the Altezzas are Legal.

i think it depends on the state you live in. check with your state.
oh and you can get clear LED light bulbs that will glow yellow.

It was probably a california car and no mechanical parts can be replaced with a part that doesn't have a CARB (California Air Research Board) sticker and certification. That is why a 2foot section of mandral bent aluminum tubing with a cone filter costs so much because teh manufacture has to pay for the research on every vehicle that the part is used for to make sure that it will not make the car a mass poluter.

by federal law, there must be a blinker visible from the front half of the car, and from the rear...(sides) it can be white, amber, or red... brake lights MUST be red... turn signals and other marker lights must be amber(color of choice for most places), red, or clear

these are hte federal laws... they do vary by local... just check out with the local DMV before you modify
