HeadLight Blinker Poll

If you guys had these kind of blacked out headlights, what color LED bulb would you get for the blinker, in place of the orange halogen bulb to get rid of the egg yolk effect? What I mean is to get rid of the orange halogen bulb so the reflection on the housing where the bulb is, is not appearing orange. Would you get an LED bulb with a backboard that is black so the reflection of the housing is black, or would you get a LED bulb with a backboard of white, so the reflection of the housing on the back is clear.

**Note, the blinker will still be orange when in use, just the LEDs will be clear so there is no orange reflection in the housing, but need to decide if I want the housing reflection black or clear.**

Please take a moment to vote on this poll I set up, so I could decide if I ever black out my head lights, a clear reflection or a black reflection. Here is a picture:
