| Can you shave your sidemarkers? If your getting your car fully appraised by the insurance company, will they pass it? |

| Yes because apraser is there to determine the value of your car, not if its safe or un-safe they don't care. You can shave all handles and some lights and its ok. |

| Unless your front parking lights and rear tail lights are visible from the side of the car, it's illegal to remove them, or have them in any other colour than amber / clear in the front and red in the rear. Being as your car has them, it implies that the lights aren't visible, so it'd be illegal. |

Uh.... crap. My sidemarker bulbs in the front are blue...
Got pulled over once, passed many cops, none have ever mentioned them.
Is this bad? |

I had 2 tickets for blue corners of $57 each so I just switched them out for hyper white ones. |

Per the stuck thread at the top of this section, with its link to the Vehicle Equipment Regulations, you'd find this:
Division 5
Other Lamps
Side marker lamps
39(1) A motor vehicle or trailer must have the following:
(a) one amber side marker lamp on each side and as close to the front, excluding a trailer tongue, as is practicable;
(b) one red side marker lamp on each side and as close to the rear as is practicable |

i have white sidemarkers, and have never had a problem with the cops. |

Yet...though that could change one day (if you're pulled over for another reason at night), to which, I'm sure it will be the topic of another rant.
I took have white sidemarkers.
The point of the thread was to ascertain whether you could remove them entirely... |
