Signal Lights, Bright White or Amber?

Hey Everyone!!

Just a question for everyone I am looking to change out my OEM Signals (front, back and side) to some mirror bulbs to get ride of the orange color in the lights.

The Dilemma I am having is to either switch them out for Bright White Bulbs or an Amber color. Reason being is a safety issue whether if Amber is more seen in Day/Night or the Bright White Bulbs? would people see the bright white properly during the day? or would it be too bright during the night?

I am also changing the fog lamps and the parking lights to white because I don't like the yellow incandescent light look.

Anyone have a good idea what I should do?
Any advice would help! Thanks!

I don't know about Canada, but in the US signal lamps (turn) and parking lights must be amber.
