Are the ment to be side lamps (white but you've already got some of them in the headlamps) or sidemarker lamps (orange)? If they are E aproved I guess it should say, probubly in a code. As the indicators are rapround they are visable from the side - thats why vans after 1986 still don't have a seperate side repeater. US vans had them as sidemarkers but they were also the only front sidelamps too, which can be orange there. I was just wondering on the legal issues of them in the UK, if they carry an E marking that should explain their perpouse with no confusion (handy if a traffic cop trys to have a go).

As for putting white indicator bulbs in clear lenses, its probubly not possable as most amber bulbs/clear lenses have a different pin arangement so the wrong colour bulb won't fit.
