I've heard many differeny stories. It depends on where you live mostly. There is no nationaly driving law that states that clear lights are illegal. You gotta do the research into where you live. I know that around here where I live in baltimore, different cops are under different impressions after I talk to them, along with lawyers. I used to work for a lawyer and I photocopied the Book of Torts on the legality of tail lights on motor vehicles, unfortunately I lost it, but I remember it saying that the rear lights on a motor vehicle must emit a red light for braking and an amber to red light for signaling. I can't remember if it said anything about red reflectors or not. Hope this helps. Do some legal research in your town. Hit the library :-)
