Front side marker lights
Hey everyone. I have changed out every exterior light on my corvette except for the front side marker lights. I'm pretty sure I want to go with the ones from sharp light innovations. However, they have several options, and I'm not really sure which ones to go with. I'm pretty sure I want to get the switchback LEDs. However, I'm not sure when the colors change. Ideally, I'd like everything to be amber when they are functioning as DTRL or as a turn signal, but be white whenever the headlights or fog light are on (I'm assuming that I would not want the white DRL harness?). Is this how the switchbacks work? If not, what colors are they and when? There are also 4 different housings to choose from. Anyone who has these, can you please post pictures or (even better) videos of them. Thanks in advance!

I don't have the led strip.
These are switchback bulbs, an amber light is on all the time until I turn on lights, then it's white light.
There is a youtube vid on this somewhere, not mine.

Here's what I have and it sounds like what you're looking for. I have the clear light smoked lens and no LED strip on the bottom.
Bought these bulbs from the auction site. If you don't have the hyperflash harness I highly recommend it too.
