Having your headlights cleared is illegal. We are required to have an orange reflector at the front of our car, and clearing the headlights removes that. You can still pass inspection if you buy a rinky-dink orange reflector and put them on each side of your front bumper for the day, though.

they haven't noticed mine yet and i live in PG
what they will notice is if you put a Blue Hyperwhite bulb in the corner
they'll try to say it's blue even thou it lights up white.
a Sheriff told me he was letting me off with a warning since the time he notice them i was accident
just a little fender bump. It popped back out the next morning but youcan still see the missing paint.

it's true and most likely the safest way to go if you don't want to be harassed.
there's suppose to be some bulb coming out that's white or chrome but lights up orange...
i might already be out
for now i'm satisfied with my Xenon ones.

It's no big thing. Basically, after you clear them, make sure you put an amber/orange bulb in for the turn signals (so they blink orange?). That way, you shouldn't be harassed at all, unless someone's REALLY being an a$$.
