Hybrid Mirror Turn Signal - Which Bulb???

I am trying to figure out what kind of bulb/led the turn signal mirror takes? I have it on my Si here and trying to make the front/mirror and rear turn signals white like hid color. It is not illegal here. I called Honda there, but they said they only list an entire assembly???

Went to the Honda dealer and the stupid housing is sealed. No way to change the bulb and must buy a new housing. Well could probably be heated up, but too much work guess the 2 bulbs/leds will remain orange.

Yes to remove the lens housing you have to open the mirror anyway, but even after opening the mirror, the white/lens housing is completely sealed and there are 2 leds in it. Only way to replace it is getting a new assembly or heating up the assembly (like when you do to clear out headlights).

1 Remove the mirror holder.

2 Remove the cover (A) from the mirror (B).


3 Remove the screw, then pull out the side turn signal light (A).

4 Disconnect the 2P connector (B) from the light.

5 Install in the reverse order of removal.

Well sorry to inform, but you're actually replacing the entire housing and the leds from what I saw are not replaceable. The dealer here showed me the actual housing from a car they were working at (body work). I'll post a picture later that I took from the housing. But if you say I can replace the leds then please let me know how to open the light housing. :)
