I had my E46 M3 coded that way with the stealth bulbs till I got LED indicators and chose white. Legal in the past 3 states I've lived...just read not Hawaii...I always pass inspection though. I found this Cali law below stating that it is legal to have white front indicators, not sure if it's superseded. It's all about what the OP wants though...stealth bulbs with amber color are more OEM style and less ricey, which is the idea of this build so probably a better route.
