Up to you. I have clear corner lenses w/yellow lights. It's fine law-wise.
do the yellow bulbs look weird at all with the clear lenses....especially sinced they're always on
 
Clear corners are legal only if you have another area that reflects yellow on the side. BUT, if you put in yellow bulbs then it'll look nice during the day but cops won't know at night.

White turn signal bulbs are actually legal as well. They are just being pricks based on other evidence I'm sure (ie: loud exhaust, slammed suspension, dark tint, import car, young driver, speeding or all of the above profiling)

You are supposed to have something that reflects back yellow at the front side of the car and something that reflects back red at the rear corners. In the front of the car you can have any light ranging from white to yellow and in the rear it's the same for turn signals.

It's up to you, do what you like. I'll be using niteshades on the yellow as it'll look normalat night but dark in the day.

Looks perfectly fine. I actually prefer the look to the old marker. Looks much cleaner.

i've been thinkin im gonna nite shades the the yellow markers and decide which i like better, those or the clear ones...either way the yellow bulbs are goin back in
 
I have those chrome/amber ones in mine. Look chrome when off amber when on but nothing that reflects yellow. No hassles so far..............
 
Chrome Covered Amber for mee too in the front to make the lens look white when off but yellow when on or indicating.

You could also use a LED replacement. They are clear but light up yellow...
