Yellow-Off-Yellow-Off LED Switchbacks
Got these last week and installed them on Sunday. Love the way they are. This video will show what they're like if anyone has questions about them.

I’m at work at the moment and I also work the night shift. I’ll get the info for you all in the morning when I get home or whenever I have some feee time before morning. I got mine from the same place as Stephen Meredith did. If you search the auction site with the words that are in the very beginning of the video it will direct you to them. The link is also posted in the YouTube site description.

Okay, screw it. I have a few minutes before work starts. Here's the link to the ebay lights I ordered. Hope it's okay.

I believe you need a amber light present even while headlights are on to be legal. if so this bulb is not legal?
the oem is amber all the time running light or while lights are on? right
I was hoping the bulb was amber all the time.
And you need a hyper flash it looks like?

what's really cool is while the lights are on these are white until you hit the turn signal then they turn amber. BUT, after the signal stops, instead of turning back to white immediately (at least mine) fade from OFF into WHITE slowly getting brighter.

If you look at Mercedes, almost none of them have an amber light in front. They have a white parking light, typically inside the high beam lens. Certain Cadillac models also do not have a front amber light when parking lights are on as well. As long as there is a forward facing light that is not the low beam or high beam, it can be white or amber. It just can't be red or blue or any other color.

Yes, running lights. Running lights and parking lights are used interchangeably. Running lights is the American term, parking lights is the European term. The amber requirement I believe is for the front side-facing lights, not the front-facing lights. Front-facing can be white or amber.
Indeed there are. In the clear section, there is a 3157 bulb that does running/turn signal duties. In the reflector section towards the rear, there is a 194 bulb that does running light duty only.
