Is there a way to keep the turning signals on? Instead of blinking? I've seen a few pictures where their turn signals are on. Now, I don't know if they time the picture perfectly to where the turn signal blinks on or if they're actually on. Just think this would be cool if I could keep them on and I could change it from a yellow led to a white led and use as a regular headlight lamp. Anybody know?

Yup a few ways of doing it

1 . change the socket from 7440 to 7443 and run the extra wire to the city lights .
2. Retro fit leds in the housing and wire to city lights . Im did it this way . Custom built superflux ring(40lumen) for markers and my custom built high power led turn (900 lumen) See video at 2:20

In essence, no matter how you perform this mod you're going to need to rewire to the city lights correct?
Does this mean that I won't have any blinkers in the front if I rewire to the city lights?

yes to the first question and no to the second . Your running a seperate wire to the city lights . The city light is just a marker light for cars that dont have markers .

They are illegal but cops arent hardcore on white like other colors . On mine i probably also get away with it cuz my sidemarkers also work as amber turns as well

When you say no to my second question do you mean no they won't blink or no they will blink? Because I'm thinking if I run a wire from the turning lights to the city lights, the city lights are always on without blinking. And if I run the wire, that means the turning lights will become just like the city lights meaning it will adopt the behavior of the city lights which is always to be on.

I know this is an old bump, but thats what happens when you do a search.

Does anyone know if there are any clear lenses out yet for the turn signal in the headlights, or do I just have to the amber completely and just put an amber bulb in there to make sure it still lights up properly? I just don't like the Amber lens, and since I'm doing a projector retrofit right now, figured I would do it while it's all apart.
