Silversvt:
JMHO as usual, I guess it's all local trends. To me orange blinkers have a function, they help other people locate you at night. White blinkers look like you hit a lamp post and cracked the corner light on your Cutlass but are too lazy to get it fixed. Heurk.
IMO, there shouldn't be any orange up there whether it's coming from the reflector or the bulb; and again, they're not completely white and certainly not blue, so (IMO) it's somewhere in-between 'rice' and 'not rice'.
Anyway, it's just something I thought to do for myself. I originally bought the clear bulbs for how they look while they're off; now the barely visible (in the daytime) amber glow is growing on me. It's nothing to do with trends; it's just that I prefer clear to orange.
Sometimes I wonder why I did it, and then I'll catch a Contour or a Mystique with the "old orange bulbs" and it serves to remind me.
As for the reflectors... I've been
planning to get the reflectors out since I bought this car, just been too lazy and/or occupied to do it. I hear the method used for removing the Contours' is somewhat 'less-than-adequate' for the Mystique's more fully-spread reflector, so I'm waiting. I just can't get up the nerve to crack off the lenses.
Long-windedly,

One suggestion, however: pop in some clear turn signal bulbs.RMk..
