LED taillights will give a brighter color at night and light up nicely. As far as bulbs in turning light & sidemarkers, I have blue in corners, turn signal (white), and blue in gen2 LED altezza taillights. Sounds like blue would be good on yours though.

In California you're only legally allowed to have white and amber lights in the front and red and amber in the back, with white for reverse lights.

Dunno what the law is where you are but I doubt it'll be much different.

If you do go with blue or something, usually its one of those things though where you can get away with it for a good year or so before you run into a cop who is bored enough to pull you over for it and give you a fix it ticket.

I've had high temperature color white bulbs in my front turn signals because they matched my headlights, but lately I've been thinking of going back to amber. In my corner lights I have "hyper white" LED bulbs, but I have cefiros so they actually point forward, in stock corner lights they'll be pointing straight up and wont do much good.

I personally went back to ambers today, myself - on the FRONT turn signals. They actually look a lot more crisp than I thought they would. I'd contribute that to the diamond cut clears. But, honestly, white/blueish turn signals confuse the crap out of people. I've seen so many confused faces and hesitant people that I just decided to go back with ambers in the front. But, I did leave the rear hyper whites, because they are larger and more dramatic appearing. It's funny how they tend to light up a whole street at nighttime though haha
