Front Turn Signal Bulb Recommendations

Can anyone recommend any bulbs to use for the front turn signals? Looking for a white with a blue or purple hue. Also, what size should be used? Thanks in advance.

Front turn signals in the US must illuminate amber to be legal.

I have no front plate in Texas and have never been pulled over for it, but that doesn't make it legal. All front turn signals in North America MUST be amber (or white for older vehicles if originally equipped that way). Many people change them, but amber is still the law. Here's one reference:

I read somewhere that a WY21W bulb, which is what that bulb is listed as, isn't the same as a 7440A bulb and won't fit in some applications. Can anyone confirm a 7440A bulb fitting? I'd like to change mine as well.
