So on the integra the front turn signal is made oit of two bulbs, I need the one circled in red to be white to pass inspection in my country. The problem is the bulb itself is white, but there is an orange filter inside and I cannot remove it.

My idea was to put in a bright blue bulb in there to compensate for the orange filter and make it appear white. Is that doable? Has anyone tried?

Haven’t tried it, but I’d imagine a blue bulb will just make a weird color, that’s it white.

Chances are you’re going to either have to find the housing, that came on the car in your country, or disassemble the housing and remove the orange reflector.

Man, I really doubt that thing will dissasemble, I think everything was glued together

You have to heat it, and probably do a little prying, to get the glue to come apart, but it can be done. I’ve done it. I’m sure there are videos on YouTube explaining exactly how.
