I really dont think cops are worried about clear side markers..I wanted those clear side markers too, but after doing some research i found that clear side markers are illegal in the US. i researched also the washington state law and the answer is in the FAQ. If you get into an accident with clear side markers or HIDs (all aftermarket HID are illegal in the US) or your car has things that are not legal, the other party can sue you for operating an illegal vehicle and you will be in a lot of trouble. I rather be carefull.
