Turn signals are supposed to be amber/orange in color. Depending on your local law enforcement, you might be given a hard time about it.
Here in SC, cops could care less. I had hyper white Eurolite bulbs for all 4 corners and never had an issue.

you have to take the bumper off....then take the headlight out so u can get access to the blinker bulb. imo isnt worth the trouble.

Yes, they will blink orange but have the 'clear' look when they don't.

I put LEDs in mine so they blink a pure white instead of a yellowish tint (or amber with stock blubs)
looks way better (when the lights are on or off)
I pulled the bumper off and replaced all of the bulbs at once (HID Fogs 8k, different HID low beams 8k, LED marker lights, and the turn signals)
They sell chrome bulbs that blink in any color, just depends on local laws and personal preference

Yes. The access to the turn signals is on the bottom of the headlight.

I thought about it when I had my headlights off the car for a retrofit, but I never really got around to it. I don't really see the front turn signals flashing anyways...so it'd just be another mod that I don't notice. Not that big of a deal

yup you've got to remove the front bumper to access the turn signals from the bottom of the headlights.
