Bootstrap icons are blue instead of white and not well positioned vertically

Question

I want two icons next to each other (nearly no space between them), I put them in same li and same div but they are now blue and not well positionned vertically, what bootstrap class or custom style or anything else should I use (just putting in 2 li doesn't make it, the icons have too much space between them) ? :

You should not use <div> inside <li> I have used two different li for both icons and added two classes, check below snippet:

Note: You can adjust space between icons using by increasing padding

@import url('https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css');

.navbar-right li{
  display:inline-block
}
.navbar-right li .left_padd {
  padding-left:0;
}
.navbar-right li .right_padd {
  padding-right:0;
}

  <div class="container-fluid">
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#myNavbar">
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>                        
      </button>
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">WebSiteName</a>
    </div>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="myNavbar">
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li class="active"><a href="#">Home</a></li>
        <li class="dropdown">
          <a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" href="#">Page 1 <span class="caret"></span></a>
          <ul class="dropdown-menu">
            <li><a href="#">Page 1-1</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Page 1-2</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Page 1-3</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li><a href="#">Page 2</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Page 3</a></li>

      <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
