No one makes superwhites, but you can change them to clear ones. I was one of the first (if not the first) to do this about 6 years ago. The mirrors use instrument cluster bulbs and there are 6 for each mirror. I don't remember which bulbs they use off the top of my head (since I changed them so long ago) but I think it might be 2721 or 2723.

By the way, it looks a lot better if you don't use a superwhite bulb in the turn signals if you plan to make the mirror lights clear - the superwhite front/rear with the normal white mirrors doesn't match and looks terrible. Keep them all the non-superwhite clear and it will look nice.

You have to take the mirror glass off, then you will have access to the torx screws that hold the 2 pieces of the mirror housing together. Once you take those off and jiggle the housing apart from the base, you will see the back-side of the light strip. From there, you can use a knife blade or small flat screwdriver to pop the rubber bulb holders out of the strip so that you can change the bulbs. If I remember correctly, I posted a DIY on some forum, but it was so long ago, I don't remember if it was here or somewhere else.
