Anything other than amber side marker lamps are illegal in Florida.

I've had clear corners for years and never got harrassed nor have I ever met anyone who got a ticket for it. But I have heard that the cops around UCF are pretty strict and hate on ricers and give tickets to anyone with clear corners, illegal tint, and even too loud of an exhaust. Just be careful around UCF.

Not that this would apply to any of our Club members, but if you carry any illegal substances in your car, you may want to consider keeping your lights the proper color. A cop can legally stop you for having the wrong colored lights, which may then lead to a search of your vehicle, if there is probable cause to do so.

Unfortunately, i have no trunk liner.
older cars, you just just pop your middle console and hide stuff in there. it worked pretty well at keeping the smell down as well. our consoles arent that easy though.
as for the lights, yes anything but amber glass or amber light is illegal. i just installed my piaa superwhite leds last night in my corners and license plate. www.optionsauto.com had them for about $15/pair.
