7443 (Dual-Filament)

Are there any bulbs that stay on white while flash orange when you turn on the blinkers? For the 05 turn signals the bulbs are dual-filament.

I know this one:
http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED/T...-p5168714.html

It stays on white while the car is on but flashes orange when you hit the turn signals. But I think that one wouldn't look good on our cars. I'm looking for something that only shoots light out straight. Does anybody know any?

your 05 headlights have an orange lens so no matter what color bulb you put, it will shine orange. The 06 projectors have a clear piece there so you ca do this to the 06 headlights.

I'm not sure why its important for the light to only shoot out straight anyways. There is a reflector bowl that will bounce back the light....

Every halogen bulb disperses light out the sides and is re-directed by the reflector. Those LED's do the same.

I got these lights for my 06 and they don't seem to work the way it should. I get the amber blinker when i have the turn signals and emergency lights. But, when the car is on i don't get any white light. It was a bit of a pain to switch the lights (my first time) but I got it done. Has anyone else got these lights with 06 headlights?

06 lights don't have the wiring for that functionality. You need to rewire it with a 7443 socket from a set of 03-05 headlights if you want them to stay on all the time

Yup, only 03-05 headlights have the wiring to accommodate a 7443 bulb.
06-07 have wiring to accommodate a 7440 bulb.

Well I have to ask then; do you think this will harm anything to just keep these LEDs on?
