the name "clearcorner" almost doesnt describe them...

so i got bored, and decided to hack my brand new clearcorners open before even installing them. first thing i did was paint black, and it came out good. then decided i wanted to make them led, heres where the questions start. i found some rather low output orange leds, and some whites. as of now, i have like 16 orange leds, and 5 whites. my idea is have white parking lights, orange turning. only thing is, orange are hard to see when whites are on. soo, do i just leave it so, or make it like the audi's where it alternates white-orange when blinking??
heres a quick vid, tell me what you think.
ps- dont mind the obnoxiously loud clicker thing, just something i rigged up to blink them.

Not a bad idea. It could look a little cleaner IMO. I would go with just the white.

Did you cut?

i dremeled about a one inch section, then used a flat screwdriver to gently pry it apart after heating it with a heat gun. havent decided what i want them to do as a final product, so theyre not glued back together yet. i had one older one that i opened to paint and re-sealed. what i did was close the fixture, heat the glue and let that set, then put crazy glue around to make sure it was fully sealed.
still need opinions on what to do.. my friend said just do the white and scratch orange, or i was thinking have the amber dim and flash bright for turning lights. then use the white either at night (put lots of leds in and use it like a cornering light, or just use them for shows and leave the amber for park/turn.

Seems to me that the orange will be useless if the white led's are on since they are just about invisible when the white ones are on. I would do just the white.
