New lights
Hey guys helped my buddies over at IJDMTOY test fit some new products pretty legit and error free.
license plate light pretty bright.
Same price as asains I think just a different led
Front turn signal white led
Hopefully If my friend has time will convert the mirror turn signal to white led just need to unsolder old ones and soder in new ones

I never thought I'd ever respond to any post saying amber was a good thing, but I gotta do it in this case. 
Getting rid of the egg yolk effect is one thing, but the whole reason front signals are not white is so that there is contrast between them and the headlights. At night, when the headlights are on, it'll be much harder to see the signals if you go with white vs amber.
Case in point... when Audis w/ the embedded LED strips in the headlights came out, I thought I saw one w/ an already burned out set on one side. As I saw more and more of them around town, I finally made the connection that the LEDs turn off when the signal is activated, then turn back on once the turn is completed. I'm pretty sure it's to avoid washout. With headlights AND LED strips on at night, I'll bet it was too bright and the amber signals were hard to see.
Just my $0.015-worth...

Lol, I told you that you should have left the reflector portion in the back chrome :P Or at least just spray it with any leftover VANS spray you might have left. Looks pretty dim :/ Has iJDMToy fixed the problem of their LEDs burning to a crisp in mercedes yet? :3
And +1 to doanster. Lol. White front turn signals are a bit meh IMO. I always thought it looked kinda rice seeing as the only time I ever saw em were on old integras and whatnot on my college campus. Also, it clashes horribly with your mirror turn signal LEDs :/

Non of my leds have been burnt to a crisp Ive been using jdmtoy leds since forever lol. As for reflectors eh It looks cleaner during the day, and I never use high beams. White is still very noticeable during the day the pics do not show how bright the led is just its true color. And they were the only color They had for testing

I might be wrong, but I read somewhere that turn signals in either amber or red are traffic law required. However, not everything is reinforced.
My ideal mod is, if I ever want to do it, all bulbs change to LEDs but keep the same factory color.
