Bulbs: Amber vs HyperWhite

Hey i just ordered a set of the tornactive black housed headlights and i was wondering, should i go with the amber side bulbs or hyperwhite.

My car is black and i have the PIAA 'Plasma-White' H4 bulbs

For all those that do have clear corners and a black car, which do you think looks better, amber or white? i like them both but i just wanna know whats more agressive looking and not too ricey

yae thats one thing im afraid of, getting nabbed for the whites, thats why i wanted to go amber.... i used to have these japanese imported blue led bulbs (4 leds per bulb) for my 192's (parking lights) ... and it looked amazing with my hyper whites, but at the time i had crappy Eurolite brand hyper whites, and one of them burnt out on the ride home so all u could see is the amber and blue on my drivers side, the cop pulled me over and threatened to give me a ticket ($600) .... here in boston its $300 per bulb that violates standards

ok i just got a special order done on a set of Eurolite amber blinkers, they had them in 7440s not 7443 ..... the only bulbs that come in 7443 for almost any brand are the Hyper white and the red, but the amber ones for the brands that didnt have them were 7440's .... does that matter? the guy said that it would fit the 02 civic
