Do all turn signals have to be orange? Meaning if front corner lights or rear tail lights were switched to clears, do they have to be replaced with orange light bulbs to be legal?

If you're looking to clear out the (IMO ugly) amber turn signals up front, just go grab a set of LED size 7440 bulbs. I got a set from JleviSW. Granted his are a little more expensive, but they have 24 LED's per bulb (which is a HUGE amount) and I also got them with load equalizers which eliminates that annoying fast blinking that occurs because of LED's low power consumption.

I'm looking to do that. You're talking about the ones on the inner part of the headlight housings, right? How much do they cost and does he have any more? And how do you like them? Pics? Haha. Sorry for all the questions... :P

here's a picture that show's everything cleared out. I removed the OEM amber sidemarkers and replaced them with clear ones. i removed the OEM amber turn signals and replaced them with jlevi clear LED's that light up amber. I took out the OEM white parking lights and replaced them with blue ones.
