White turn signals/clear xenons on PW

I just took delivery of my new JCW PW/BLK hardtop and LOVE it. However, I ordered the white turn signals (turns center orange on rears white and makes xenons all clear). Howver, it did not make it to final order and I missed it on review. My MA is super and is willing to change out at dealer gratis. Now I am a bit torn. Can anyone weigh in and help with my decision and/or post pics? Thanks in advance.

I got a PW/W and really wish that I had ordered the white signals, the yellow stuff hurts my eyes :-)

I got the white turn signals as well. I like them. My MINI club President recommended changing the bulbs to make them look white (no egg yolk) all the time, except when they signal. Which, I understand, they must be amber per DOT. So, I ordered new Solaris bulbs; which may be substitutes if you did not get the white turn signals. They have not arrived yet, so I cannot give you first hand impression, yet.

Yes, the dealer is going to modify the headlamps, not replace them. So I don't know exactly what they plan to do. I guess as long as it gives the desired affect, it will be ok.

Got them changed and looks great. My MA picked my car up and returned it to me with the new lights. Can't beat that for service!
