I was on http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ looking for TSB info on my Scion when I ran across this recall. Just info for those who have done it and get hassled.

Make : TOYOTA Model : SCION XB Year : 2004
Manufacturer : ANZO USA, INC.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06E023000 Recall Date : MAR 09, 2006
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 292000
Summary:
CERTAIN ANZO COMBINATION HEADLAMP ASSEMBLIES SOLD AS REPLACEMENT LAMPS FOR USE ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES. SOME COMBINATION LAMPS ARE NOT EQUIPPED WITH AMBER SIDE REFLECTORS WHICH FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108, "LAMPS, REFLECTIVE DEVICES, AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT.”

 

long as the bulb lights amber or white there is no issue, at least in CA according to the Vehicle Code

 

This is a federal issue. Clear Corners removes the AMBER SIDE REFLECTORS WHICH FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 108

reflectors being the key. this leaves the front of the car with no side reflectors

 

Yes they're illegal, but so are ALL clear corners, regardless what color bulbs you put inside. It's up to the cops. Even in super strict So. Cal. most don't even notice. They look more for blue turn signals.
