Diff between white turn signal and standard?

Is there anyone who can put up pics or point me in the direction of some pics that show the difference of the white turn signals and the standards (in real life, ie. not the miniusa builder)?

Or maybe someone can give me a very good description of what the noticeable difference in appearance is?


....trying to figure out if I have them on mine or not.... (mine look white until I hit the turn signal and it looks like the bulb is yellow?) sorry...I'm confused!

Ok, so even if you have the white turn signal option, the lenses are white but the bulbs themselves are orange (amber) and flash orange, so if you look at them straight on you will see the orange bulbs behind the white lenses. From the side you can't really see the bulbs. If you want to get rid of any evidence of orange, you can swap out the bulbs with silver bulbs (orange bulbs painted silver, they still flash orange). It's easy to swap the bulbs. If you do not have the white turn signal option you will have orange lenses along with amber bulbs.

Alright! Thanks guys for both your help. It turns out I do have the white turn signals, I just thought they would flash white too, not amber/orange or whatever color it is. The description really helped too, thanks Bananas

Yea, turn signals must appear amber when flashing, it's law. The "white" signals are, as others pointed out, just a white lens. The standard ones have an amber lens. I got white signals because I wanted as little visible color as possible on my Pepper/Black MINI.

Is there a way to get the white turn signals aftermarket? The MCs I'm looking at on the lot does not have them, but I would like them..
