LED Clear vs. Amber visibility in Daylight

So on my way home, I saw a X and his turn signals was using the clear LED signal bulb setup. Very bright .......which in turn, has led me to jlevis' site.
I plan to do the LED signal bulbs swap.

I'm curious for those that may know......what is the visibilty of the Clear LED signals in daylight.

Granted, my headlights still have the amber corners but I do actually like the LOOK of amber lenses on the headlights vs. alll cleared out.

I have seen some Honda's during the day with the clear LED signals, and I do recall from a VISIBILITY standpoint, I would prefer amber from that perspective.

The X with the rear clear LEDS did look hot though !

I'm thinking of getting these front and rear LED's turn signal bulbs from Jlevi also. However I want the ones that blinks amber instead of xenon white (illegal). In my opinion, amber gives the best visibility as far as signal lights go, day or night, rain or shine.

Why not get the best of both worlds, our Amber LEDs are COMPLETELY clear when off and blink in amber. We also have these on sale for $10 less than the xenon white LED's.

Amber LEDS and backup LEDS ordered. I wonder why it took so long for me to order a set of LED bulbs ;-)

I use my Sure-Fire LED daily .

I'm gonna check out my X3 tomorrow to see how easy it would be to switch out all the turn signal bulbs.
