Fog lights and turn signals

I'm trying to match my fog lights to my headlights. I want them to be white instead of yellow. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should get? Also I live in New York does anyone know if it is illegal to have white turn signals? Any help is great, thanks.

Yea I didn't even think if that. Can you install those yourself. Is is just different light bulbs or would I have to change the entire headlight? How do they work exactly?

its pretty much one bulb. the running light would be white n when u hit the turn signal, the white shuts down and amber lights flash. your pretty much just replacing the bulp however, you will get hyper flashing. personally i dnt have a problem with hyperflashing but there are a few threads which should point u in the right direction on how to get rid of tht

No state "requires" amber turn signals. Normally for the front, you need white or amber, and for the rears red or amber.

Not sure if white LED turn signals are illegal. I have white front LED turn signals and white LED sidemarkers in my BMW and I have not had any trouble yet.

For my TL I got white LED front turn signals white CREE LED rear turn signals waiting to be installed. Just need to find the time to install them. The front I don't expect any problems but the white CREE LED rear turn signals will be REALLY bright so lets see how that works out.

Only reason I am hesitant to put them in because the blinkers will just give the cops an excuse to pull me over. Then they can nail me for no front, tint, etc. You know how it is in NY. But in my BMW I have had no problems. I hope it stays the same way when I put them in the TL. I will take some videos for you if you want to see them.

Just realized you have a stock 08 TL. You need clear taillights+clear headlights to pull off the white turn signals. After you get them cleared you can buy 7443 bulbs for the front turn signals in white color and 7440 for the rear turn signals in white color. Get 6k D2S bulbs for the lowbeam+6k H8 HID kit for the fogs if you get front white led turn signals otherwise nothing will match.
