Im going to try and clear my headlights and wanted to find out if anybody knew what are they legal colors we can have for turning signals in NH?

I live in CT and they supposibly require you to have an amber bulb as a turn signal which you can now get ones that look clear but when activated produce that amber color. So far I know no one who has had a problem yet with this issue even after leaving their stock turn signal in after clearing their headlights. I think you'd be safe with most colors, just not one that really stand out or one that cops could spot far away, ie red, blue.

I also live in CT.. i have Hyper Whites on my corners.. most cops drive by and say " you should change those" but never got pulled over for them.. some cops even say they look great..

yeah, you have to have an amber bulb - but I think you also need a reflector on the side - something about telling one end of the car from the other (amber in front, red in back)...The only reason why I would try and keep it legal is because if the cop pulls you over and he wants to write you up for more, that's just another thing he can use...

are those bulbs that look silver but produce a amber like called Philips SilverVision?

I live in Nashua, NH and have cleared headlights. I had the stock ones in for over a year and no problems with the law. When regsitering you car, the inspection laws say you must have an amber bulb. I got mine inspected at my Honda dealer and they passed it with the PIAA Etreme White bulbs, so I think as long as it is colored, you should be fine.

I agree with Twilight X, my friend got pulled over for something stupid like that and then got fined an extra $150.
