I have a 03 Coupe. I changed the front signals on my car with clear bulbs (bulb type: 1157). The housing itself is clear and the original bulb is amber. So, if you put the clear bulbs, the turn signals/parking light will be clear.
So far, I haven't had any trouble with cops yet (knock on woods 3x).
I got these bulbs from eBay:

Type: 1157
Wattage: 27/8W
Ok, here is my point: I like amber turn signals, nothing can beat that BUT I really hate amber parking lights. They are so ugly. They make your Accord looks like having eyebrows. Looks like one of those Pontiac's minivan (don't know which model exactly). My friend said that my turn signals are not that visible at nite (NOTE: I also changed the headlight bulbs with Silverstar).
So, if you wanna get the clear bulbs, good luck with the cops.
Oh, good luck with the bulb changing process too. Those darn engineers really give us very tight space to change the headlight and parking light bulbs on 03 Accord. It is good to have two people do the installation. One works from the hood, the other from the wheel area. I have skinny hands but still had trouble.

The front signal lights are actually legal if they are white. They ARE NOT legal if you put them in the back, and it's sooo much easier to get pulled over for those.
Blue is always illegal...anywhere. As for hyperwhite...they're still not white to some cops. Especially when they turn off and they have that blue filtering lens.
front bulbs are usually 1157's and rear signals 1156 but if they come on with the parking lights and then have the function to blink or come on with the brakelights then those bulbs are 1157's.
