Dual action/color parking lights

I'm not sure how to search for this so I'm just making a thread. I plan on buying 06 projectors soon for a number of reasons, one of which is the clear parking lenses. I was wondering if it's possible (or if there's a bulb) to have the parking lights shine white when they're on, then blink amber when your signal is on. I realize you could just have them blink white but I try to stay within the legal boundaries whenever possible.

06 projectors do not have a lighted clearance stripe. Only bulbs that light up with parking lights are side markers and little wedge bulbs in the fog housing. Wish the clearance strips lit up like on my old 03 lights.

I may not have been clear enough but I wasn't referring to the clearance strips. I'm referring to the smaller circle lights next to the fogs. In the 03-05 headlights, they have an orange lens. In the 06-07 headlights they are clear (the blinkers).

Our switchback modules will do what you want however it requires both a white and a amber LED array with both being isolated . We can make a plug in LED bulb which can function with our switchback module but the turn signal part would not be bright enough by itself. If your using it with the oem turn signal and just want to give a little extra glow for the turn signal it will be fine .

Thank you'll for the info.

0MGHI2U that's exactly what I was looking for. Since the link for the bulb in the DIY is old, is this what I would need?

http://www.v-leds.com/Exterior-LED-B...-p7114832.html

Also, the DIY write up wasn't very thorough so I'm kind of confused. I will have a spare set of 03-05 headlights after I buy the projectors, so do I just need to retro fit the 7443 plug into the new headlights?

Finally, when you turn the blinker on, does it alternate between white, amber, white, amber? Or does it alternate between amber, off, amber, off? Sorry if that's confusing.

I'm not sure if it matters but you do realize that bulb you have linked is a 3157 bulb and not a 7443.

Yeah I noticed that too but couldn't find a 7443 bulb. I just looked again and I think I found the correct bulb.

5k is exactly what I'm looking for so I think I need to look at some other sites. Also, some people were complaining that the 48 smt bulbs weren't bright enough in the day time when the ambers are on. I guess it's google time.
