if youre talking about the sidemarkers, you can have white ones that still flash orange/amber, thats perfectly legal

but even if they flash white, the cops wont give a damn

now flashing red or purple may be another story

Well, you said "reflectors" so I am going to assume you do mean that and not the side markers.....

I too have heard it is "illegal" to replace them with white or clear reflectors, but like most others I would agree that cops have better things to do. They may get you on a technical if you are a &*^% to them getting pulled over for another reason .... (ie..you were speeding AND you have clear reflectors - boy!)....
However, here is a question...if it is illegal to have white or clear and you must keep them red and orange, why does my sports package from the factory have NO reflectors on it whatsoever??????

HMMMMMMMM.... :wtf

It does matter..my side markers were white and they blinked white i got a fix it ticket for it. they wont pull you over just for that if they notice it when they catch you for something else then its a problem. same with my turn signals in the back.
