I referred to them as "corner lights". The regulations above from California are also implicit in all US and Canadian jurisdictions. The language would be identical.

Manufacturers, have mostly adopted front and rear (amber and red) lights on the corners to comply with the front and side visibility requirements. Some vehicles with front only ambers have also placed another one on the front fender visible from the side.

If you code the ambers out, then quite simply your vehicle does not comply, and would be subject to your local/state/provincial enforcement agencies to notice and take appropriate action.

Conceivably, driving a non-compliant vehicle might subject you to legal action (especially perhaps in California?) if you were to be involved in an accident (foggy evening?) where visibility could be an issue. Will your insurance company stand behind you regardless? Goodbye house? Goodbye 401k?

Perhaps have your lawyer request a letter from your insurance company granting you a waiver?
