parking/cornering light in amber?
Are any vendors selling an amber bulb for the light housing closest to the grill. I'm sick of these being lit around turns and people thinking my highs are on. I want an LED amber bulb that matches the interior for these to show their not headlights. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No one sells an Amber bulb unfortunately, however, if you wanted to try something unique, you could get something like this http://www.amazon.com/AC-Orange-Auto...sim_sbs_auto_5 and spray it on to a set of $5 Hella 55-watt h3 bulbs, and give it a go. |

Well I mean there is always eBay for you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-Car-Bulb...item20b830758f
I was just wondering if its been done. And yes around here people are very particular and un educated about the whole if your fogs are on your highs are not. |

They will be barely visible.
Get a regular incandescent bulb like this http://www.amazon.com/HELLA-HLA-H831...5199878&sr=1-8 |

the cornering lights come on when you signal to turn and when you turn the wheel at slow speeds. They shouldn't be on all the time. At least thats how my LCI Xenons work.

- While standing if your wheels are straight and you turn blinker - While standing if you turn your steering wheel either side - At low speeds and high cornering angles (like on ramps). |

you coded them to be on all the time while the headlights were on?

I now have OSS and changed the turning lens into a projector lens so I'm looking to code them to come on with my highs. Or to replace the bulb with a colored led and run them as demon eyes with my running lights. The trick is in the coding.
