Default Question on corner light bulb

Can someone link me to some corner light bulbs that fit a 89 civic HB that are bright white? Im ordering clear corners and want some white bulbs with it? Im not to worried about regulations because my bumper lights are amber and they also work as turning signals...2057 is the part number for the corner lights i think im gonna look into LED white bulbs?? Is this a direct fit and could I use a 1057 LED bulb?

In terms of bulb interchangibility, you can substitute 1157 bulbs instead of 2057 bulbs. They will be slightly brighter when using the dimmer filament, which won't matter if you decide to use LEDs.

However, you won't be legal after this. White front turn signals and front marker lamps are perfectly legal in the US. It's the front side marker lamps that need to be amber, which are what you intend to make white here. This confuses many people because on some cars the same bulb is used for 2 or 3 functions.

You'll also be missing the required front side reflectors, but I'm sure you knew this.
