Light Question on a ML320.

Hello,

I have a 2000 ML320, and wanted clear corners but all the stores around here didnt offer it for my ML. A few weeks ago I took the head lamps out, separated the silicone and I carefully cracked off all of the yellow plastic piece (reflector?). Then I sealed the head lamps up and screwed it back on my car. I was very happy of the turn out, but when I turned on the lights it was an icky light yellowish color. I then went to Pepboys to see what type of light bulbs they had. I told the guy I wanted signal lights that are bright white or anything non dull white and I then gave him the make/model/yr. Unfortunantly I dont have the receipt or the packaging, and I dont remember what light bulb part number I purchased. This past weekend I put the bulbs in, turn on my lights and they didnt light up, but when I went to signal its bright and works perfectly. My question is I dont know what lights to buy so when I turn on my lights at night the side lights will light up w/a nice clear white and either stay the same clear white while I signal or even go brighter is fine with me.

Another question is, I dont know what it is called exactly but the side markers/blinkers? Its right above and a bit behind the front tires, how do I pop off that lens and replace the bulb to make it a clear white instead of a orange color when I signal?

Thanks,
Angelysta
