The bulbs are single color, either amber or white. Housings are the same, but there might be a slight color difference in the pin-head sized LED chips that they use for the two different colors, but they are so small that they are almost invisible.

The rears turned out great. Even though they are shining through a red lens, the light that comes through is completely amber and very bright. It's kinda surprising, since I tried an amber OEM bulb in the other rear turn signal, but the light that came through was still red. Like I warned before, I would be cautious about buying a white replacement bulb for a rear lens housing with a red or amber lens color, as the light that comes through may be bright pink(US lens) or a really bright washed out amber color(Aus lens). I would buy amber for the rears if you're thinking of upgrading those as well.

I'll post some pics of how mine turned out, but I found it's difficult to accurately photo lights, especially LEDs.
I assume you changed out one of the bulbs in the tail light on the rear fender. Which socket in the tail light do you install these bulbs in?

Thanks
