Default Modded Head lamp LED Front Turn Signals Amber&White (merged threads)

Hey.... thought I post something that I did over the week. I modded my front turnsignals to display two lamps. I used a dual emitting Led bulb that can display and alternate between two colors. Hid white and amber.
It required me to cut and remove the 7440 stock sockets and replace them with 7443 dual element sockets. Then I had to bridge the low element wire to the parking lamps and the high element to the turn signals. So when I use the turn signals they will flash amber. When the turn signals are off they will display White. I have only two crappy photos to share at the moment and will try to post better contrast photos...sorry only have a canon power shot camera...very noobie camera.

"First photo with Daytime running lamps and turn signal on"

Very inventive! It amazes me that I still see new and different mods happening to the 2IS. I thought I had seen everything. Great idea!
