Turn signals

I recently installed clear lenses on my turn signals. Also I switched out the stock bulbs for led switchback bulbs that are white while running and amber when using the blinker.

However, there is a second bulb in the lens housing that I guess is just the running light bulb and it is still a halogen that gives off a more yellow light than the led bulb. Is there any replacement for this? Is there another led bulb that I can use? I have already tried switching to sylvan silverstars but it is still too yellow.

I have switchbacks in 6K color and I also replaced the outer bulbs with white leds to match.

Thanks I ordered a set. Do I need to get some resistors to keep them from glowing or is that not a problem with these?

no you wont need resistors for that, only to keep the blinker from going crazy.

I have load resistors (6ohm 50w) for the switchbacks because they hyper flashed. My 194 bulbs have afterglow but I never bothered getting load resistors for them since it doesn't bother me. You'll need 100ohm 10w load resistors for them.

Scroll down to load equalizers.
