Default light bulb laws

Does anyone happen to know of a comprehensive site that lists the laws by state for car lights? Specifically, Im wondering if my corner turn signal bulbs HAVE to be orange, or if I can replace the bulbs with clear. Also, my car is registered in Oregon, but I live in Tennessee due to the military, so I probably have to follow Tennessee laws, correct? Thanks guys.

Yeah I found the vehicle codes, but all it referred to was brake lights and head lights. It didnt say anything about turn signals.

Well in Illinois they either have to be red or amber. I ordered altezza tail lights and the stock bulbs were white so I had to hard wire amber bulbs for the correct signal. I assume they are all about the same. Good luck though

Well I have the clear corners up front, and since I have some extra clear bulbs lying around, I just got to thinking that it would look pretty slick with all clear bulbs in the corners. I have the Jaguar style tail lights, so the rear signal is still red. Maybe I'll just put the clears up front till I get pulled over for it lol.

Ohhh. You mean the corners next to the headlight? Yeah, those are legal to have white. I mean they are next to the headlight and since they arent aftermarket driving lights they wont blind anyone. Check out my gallery, i did the same thing except I added an amber bulb too. The cool thing is that the white bulbs that I got for my corners have a blue coating that wont peel...so when they are off it looks saweet!

I'm not sure about your state but I believe Montana requires yellow turn indicators as well, if those are your turn signal lights I'd probably just grab some yellow bulbs from napa to be safe

Well there are two bulbs in each corner lense. The turn signal lamp is amber, at least in my car. I just have the clear bulbs lying around, but dont know if its illegal or not to have all clear in the corners.
