When Your:

Head/Park lights are on = white (hid color 6k)
turn signals on, no park light = yellow
Head/Park lights and turn signals on = alternating yellow/white
hazards on nothing else = yellow

I bought these for my Firehawk garage queen and it has DRLS and they wont work the way I wanted, so ZI dropped them in my F150 since they is no return, they replaced my siverstar chrome bulbs and I was amazed how brite the white is at nite.

Looks cool, I guess I just don't see the point though. Why would you want white light there while driving at night? I guess I am just used to seeing yellow, steady or flashing, not an alternating sequence.

Does a 28 second clip really need gay music?

Those look sweet!!! Expensive too

For those that dont want them alternating they also offer a bulb that stays white until you turn on your signal then it only flashes orange (it doesnt go orange to white alternating for the signal) which would be something i would like better.

Im in the process of modding my headlights with tru HID retrofit- ill post up some pics soon.

type 2 bulb - orange flash only for signal
