Mine are too with the standard bulb, not going to change it out.  I am much 
more concerned with the brake and running lights.

Clearly I'm in the minority here, but I just went into the garage and looked 
close.  Turn signals are very bright and quite red.  

But of course that's just my experience.  Others' may vary.

According the Moss site the white LED bulb behind a red lens makes the light 
look pink.

Maybe I am wrong, but my rudimentary understanding of science and color, a 
white led would be brighter than an equivalent red or colored one.  

 

I have white under my green turn signal lens and it works fine.  The only 
reason I can think of to use a red led is the white is so much brighter it 
would shine through the lens and make it look pale.
