Personally I don't like amber anyway. I hate that I'm forced to have amber blinkers, I'd much rather them just be white, but in AL a blinker has to be amber unless your car is one of those ghetto ones that blinks the whole tail light, which is even worse.
Also, I'd be one of the people confused by your reverse lights being amber. I'd be pondering wtf you have your parking lights on for then smash into the rear end.

not sure if this is illegal in my state..but i could see this being an accident at night in a parking lot if you were backing out. and i could see how it would be your fault if someone rear ended u..
if i dont see bright white lights when im looking for a parking space.. im gonna ignore the amber lights and assume your chilling at the wheel not going to be moving anytime soon.. just sayin.. be careful with that and drive defensively |

It looks cool, but it is a bit dangerous too. In Puerto Rico ppl are doing it with there cars, I can't say I would but then again its your car, do you matt

Def illegal here in RI. Backup lights have to be white for all the reasons above. It's like having red headlights.....

It's illegal here in B.C. Pretty sure it's illegal in 99% of the world where there are fleshed out driving laws.

i mean i feel like if you cant tell if a car is moving forward or backwards then you prob shouldnt be driving in the first place just cause they are amber shouldnt make people react like "oh my god what is this person doing why are those lights yellow" ahhah i like it

Can you make a valid argument as to why you want your reverse lights to be amber? The only people who will notice (or not notice) are people behind you when you're backing up who are looking for white reverse lights.
I can't think of a reason for doing this... As people have stated, it just seems dangerous and illegal and serves to reduce your visibility when reversing. |

ALSO.. i can see you stuck in a parking spot trying to get out and people are blocking you in because they do not see reverse lights on and assume your not trying to get out of a spot. and you will consistantly get blocked while your yelling "GET OUT OF MY WAY, CANT YOU SEE IM TRYING TO BACK OUT"... no they cant.. Quote:
but like i posted earlier, if someone does rear end you in a parking lot cuz you were backing out and they were not paying attention, they can easily put blame on you for stating that you have amber rear lights. then your insurance will pay for thier damage and yours.. and u will get a citation.. bottom line, its a neat little mod, but be careful and understand the concequences |

I think it's more a case off "Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD".
You CAN put red bulbs in your headlights and still see where you're going, but it's a dumb idea.... |
