Default Is this illegal?

On my Impreza classic which i bought last week i have smoked out rear clusters.

Ive noticed that when i indicate they flash white and not the usual orange.

Do they have to flash orange for indicators?

One of my cars failed an MOT when the side repeater bulbs became clear over the years. I'm guessing it will be the same for all indicator bulbs

As above - get some orange bulbs

Just any cheap orange bulb would do as you wont see it if the lenses are smoked.
