Gen5 clear turn signals

anyone know if i can replace the taillight turn signals to make them white. i can't really tell if it's the housing that is yellow/orange or if it's just the bulb. on the other hand, for the front headlight turn signals, i'm pretty sure it's the housing and not the bulb i can change.

White tail-light turn signals are illegal.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

Not really. White turn signals are actually legal in California, but illegal in some cities, don't know why.

I've read that your turn signals can be the following colors:

Front: Yellow, amber ONLY!
Back: White, Yellow, Amber, Red

Any other colors than those are illegal.

My front ones are yellow.

I changed my back ones from yellow to red because I didn't like the yellow reflection from the bulb. My red ones are actually clear coated from the outside and is bright red when on.

My license plate lights are also changed to Lexus OEM L.E.D. bulbs.
