If they are going for DOT approval the indicators will end up having to be orange with a reflector, and will also have to serve as a parking light. DOT requires that cars have orange reflectors on front sides and white or orange lights visible from the side at the front. Shouldn't be difficult to reverse that though, hopefully Morette will sell the clear lenses seperately.......
The lens are clear, the bulbs inside are amber. If they are illuminated all the time as ours are, that should be enough. Hopefully they won't press the reflector issue. That could be a major roadblock. Mikey said the Neon ones are done and that ours should be next but now I wonder how long it's really gonna take. The Neon ones are easier since they don't require the reflector/side marker...it's already in the fender.

so how about this.... if Morette were to include with the lights a reflective sticker, then the "kit" would be DOT legal, and up to the owner to decide to keep it that way. Morette can show DOT the lights on a car with the sticker attached to a similar location as that Neon.
Also.... what size are the high beams? Wondering if the drivers side one is large enough to feed the airfilter (after removing the drivers-side light, of course).

That's what I was thinking, kindof like the clear corner lamps I bought for my girl's Cavalier. They had a little orange reflector in the box....
