Bi-color LED Turn signals

Does anyone know if they make bi-color LED turn signals, I'm looking for some that would be white normaly(IE running lights) but amber while blinking. As you guys can see in my sig I've got some LED lights under my headlights but during the day it's kinda dumb looking to have white strips with yellow running bulbs. I've been looking online for awhile now but I can't find any, figured maybe someone here might know of something. Thanks!!

I'm guessing your talking about the switch back LED's kinda like THESE. If so there are places that sell them but you'll need a resistor to slow down the blinking.

V-LEDs sells these as well as the load resistors.

Just keep in mind if youve got a car where your turn signal are the DRLs youll have to disable them, otherwise they will still light up amber......the DRLs are your turn signals, not the parking lights

I got normal DRL's, as in the headlight bulbs are my daytimes bulbs. The only I'm a little concerned about is my housing has some kinda lame orange reflector that might make these look crappy. Anyone here know how to remove them, or if they will look good even with the lame colored reflectors?

Oh, also what kind of load resistor do I need to make these blink properly?

Thanks!!!!!!!

Get these, they're the ones I use and they're fine. Just make sure they're mounted to metal not plastic as they do get hot.

quick question, do you know if those resistors come with installation instructions? becuase i don't really know how to wire them up.

They're really easy to install. No real need for instructions. Just wire one end of the load resistor to a ground and the other to the turn signal wire, which on the front I think is a blue wire.
