There needs to be an amber corner light, plus an amber REFLECTOR. Clear corners don't reflect amber. You can put amber bulbs in them all day long and it won't make them "legal". Many new cars have clear lenses for turn signals and corner lights, this is true, but if you look, they all come with an amber reflector somewhere. Sometimes it's integrated into the headlight housing (most common), sometime it's not a light, but just a reflector on the bumper (some BMWs) and sometimes it's a stand alone light+reflector (like the RX-8, Porsches, etc). This is a Federal regulation for vehicles to be sold in the US.

The required amber reflector is a lense type reflector, the whole lense reflects light back. Look at a pic of an RX-8 with amber corners that's been taken with a flash and you'll see what I mean.

Turn your key to the on positon.
Hit your brakes three times.
Start your car, move exactly three meters.
Turn off your car and pull the hand brake 20 times.
Shift in this patern without pressing on the clutch: 1, 3, 2, 4, 5, R, 6
Start your car again and shut it off.
You have to do all this within 15 seconds.
If you did it right, your corners will turn clear.
