You're looking for APC super whites...

3157...

I use them in my tails and anywhere that an AMBER bulb is not required...

and as 10secsomeday is saying in his post, we are not responsible for any tickets you may receive while using these bulbs...

just get some Silverstar Euro Amber 3157s for your front turn signals and never have to worry...

Also, these lights comply with the IVC and are legal. During the day they put out a blue look but when they are on at night they light up a whitish blue and that is what makes them legal. Back like 3 years ago I actually had to go to court for them and the judge told me he knew exactly what lights I had and that he had several cases with these. He dropped it and told the officer they were legal because they light up white..

I am pretty sure that amber is the only legal color in IL for turn signal bulbs, etc. when it comes to passenger vehicles.

a distance of not less than 500 feet to the rear in normal sunlight and which
shall be actuated upon application of the service (foot) brake, and which may
but need not be incorporated with other rear lamps. During times when lighted
lamps are not required, an antique vehicle may be equipped with a stop lamp
or lamps on the rear of such vehicle of the same type originally installed by

as widely spaced laterally as practicable and, when signaling, shall emit a

spaced laterally as practicable and, when signaling, shall emit a red or
amber light.

is to be made and mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as
practicable.
(d) Turn signal lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than
300 feet in normal sunlight.
