Another lighting issue... I went with the clear turn signal covers in the front, as well.
To those who have done the same: What bulbs are you using in place of the 3157's that have the yellowish tint?
What all did you have to replace in order to make them work correctly? (IE: flasher units, connectors, etc)
I tend to burn up Xenon bulbs pretty quickly, and my connectors melt on me. I've already changed the thermal flashers to the Tridon EL12 flashers.

OK, so why wouldn't you use 3157NA (or 3157A if the 3157NA isn't available)? The original question seemed to be asking what bulbs to use instead of the tinted 3157.

I'm going for more of a white-ish look to my turn signals. Legal? Not sure. Do cops harp on anyone for it? Not yet.
I just went ahead and ordered a decent amount of LED's today... 3157's in white and red, as well as 194's in white and red. We'll see if that does the trick.

In this part of Illinois, however, the police don't really seem to care. At least not yet.
