[QUOTE="naskeet, post: 646850, member: 15903"] Keep in mind that ORANGE / AMBER daytime running lights are [B]ILLEGAL[/B] in the United Kingdom and probably most of the rest of the World outside the USA & Canada!

The single, small, outboard 4W or 5W single-filament bulb serves the side marker light function. Hence, even if you substituted a [B]clear lens[/B] in place of the factory-standard [B]orange / amber lens[/B], it's extremely doubtful whether you could create a legal configuration, unless you substitute multi-functional, dual-colour LEDs, like those in some modern cars.
