I won't complain haha. I've been driving without amber corners / reflectors since 2008 and haven't once had a cop mention it or notice it.
I'll concede that if you drive something that looks far less stock than my Cayenne -- ie. lowered, aftermarket exhaust, etc -- this would be a much bigger risk. But yeah, maybe I should've added a disclaimer about the technically-illegal aspect, and that there's a very slim chance you could theoretically run into the world's most observant and anal-retentive cop who might notice....

I mean, they're not required in Europe where roads are narrower and often drivers are far more maniacal. Given how reflective the OEM headlight housing is on the Cayenne, you'd have to be driving in the pitch black of night without headlights or DRL in order to somehow not see a full-size SUV.
Maybe would be a concern if you had to park on a narrow, unlit street every day... but I personally don't see much risk. I guess risk tolerance is an individual thing tho...

Shaving I don't think was an option for the Cayenne because the lens has built-in LED's and will trip a dash light if unplugged. By going with painted lenses (they have 19 coats of OEM paint to prevent light bleed) there are no warning lights and I kept the OEM amber lenses just in case. But yeah, shaving would probably be even more ideal for most cars.
