I know several people have done various things with LED taillights...anybody done anything with the parking lights on the front? I have clear corners and recently put in some Xtravision headlights. Now the clear corners and parking lights look very yellow. I'm thinking about trying to put in some white LEDs...anybody else done this?

I don't see why you couldn't, just get a buch of amber LEDs and start driling the back of your markerlights. i bought a package of red ones on ebay for another project for under 10 bucks shipped.

Don't your blinkers need to be yellow? I know they can't be white in MA

I think that is standard for all states, that they must be yellow or amber. I had blue corner marker lights in my prelude a few years ago, and they pulled me over for it. Some people are color blind and can't see if you have the light on or not if it's another color.

Don't know...don't care.
They've been clear for a while now, no problems. Front blinkers aren't terribly important anyway. I tried shining one of my LED flashlights in one of the lenses, it looks MUCH better that way. Think about it, how many XJs have clear corners? I don't think I've EVER heard of anyone getting pulled over for them.1989laredoxj

doesn't this make them blink extra fast? also that site says to get amber lights for amber blinker lenses, why? couldn't you get white ones so they would be brighter?

Some cars it does make them blink faster, but not in mine.
And the Amber lights need to be there for legality, but Ive never got busted for it.

Do you have LED's in the rear?
The reason they blink faster is because the resistance thats inherent with a regular bulb is not there with an LED. I thought I read somewhere though, that if both front and rear are LED, they will blink normal. They only blink faster when it's one and one.
