They have other things to worry about than the orange reflectors.

if youre talking about the sidemarkers, you can have white ones that still flash orange/amber, thats perfectly legal

but even if they flash white, the cops wont give a damn

now flashing red or purple may be another story

thats correct.

Well, you said "reflectors" so I am going to assume you do mean that and not the side markers.....

I too have heard it is "illegal" to replace them with white or clear reflectors, but like most others I would agree that cops have better things to do. They may get you on a technical if you are a &*^% to them getting pulled over for another reason .... (ie..you were speeding AND you have clear reflectors - boy!)....
However, here is a question...if it is illegal to have white or clear and you must keep them red and orange, why does my sports package from the factory have NO reflectors on it whatsoever??????

HMMMMMMMM....

It does matter..my side markers were white and they blinked white i got a fix it ticket for it. they wont pull you over just for that if they notice it when they catch you for something else then its a problem. same with my turn signals in the back.
