Default Turn Signal Bulbs

I was just wondering if anyone here has sucessfully changed out their front turn signals? Are the bulbs amber or is the lens amber? I've been wanting to change this for awhile now, but it seems like nobody has done it yet.

The Bulb is amber and to change it is a pain in the *ss because you would have to take off the bumper to get to the turn signal. A few people have changed theres to chrome amber and another to hyper white.

Pocky did this, and told me that it's a royal pain in the ***. You do have to remove the bumper to access the lights like dkcivic82 stated, and there's not enough of a difference to justify that amount of work, IMO. Pocky, where are you???

I installed chrome amber bulbs from pIAA./ it's either 7440 or 7443.....i forget..

I know they are single filament. personlly i wish i installed super white bulbs instead, it would have been more worth it. ok, good nightt
