ahhh i never thought of it b/c it was a trun signal good point.. not to sure how it would look with white.. does anyone have a pic???
These are pics of an Lt1 bird but don't see why something similar can be achieved with a LS1.
PM if you would like to know where I got the LED's. The DRL's are called "switchbacks" which are 3157 LEDs that willl be white when running but turn yellow when you use the turnsignal. They work very well and I had a post about this a little while ago with a video of them in action. The other light in the housing is a wide beam 194 style LED.

LED's wont melt the corner lamp or the new sockets I put on. They run cool.
LED's for all 4 were around $65, 2 electronic EL12 flashers were $30 for both, and the clear corners were around $25 on ebay. Sounds pricey but it all works nice.
edit....I just saw the post above and if you are refering to everything including the HID headlight kit, headlamps, LED lamps/ corner lamps, and foglights then yes it was closer to $600 as stated.

my friend put blue tinted silver stars in his nbm t/a and they look flippin sweet. a millioin times better than stock. the blue tinted bulbs basically cancel out the **** color yellow illumination and you get a clean clear white look. Looks great. Wish I had some pics to show you tho...
