Turn signal question

Ok so I really want to get HIDs for my turn signals but I'm not sure if it can be done or if anyone has tried? Or should I just go with a regular old white bulb? I just got 6000k HIDs and want matching turn signals. Any ideas?

What you're REALLY looking for is called switchback led's like above said. They output a white light when your parking lights/low/high's are on, but when you flip the turn signal on they output amber. Much more legal than doing a straight LED conversion. It's the same thing that most new cars with LED driving lights do.

If I recall correctly. A vendor on here sells just the white LED conversion.

lol @ "much more legal"

Are they safe and street legal? No. But they're much more legal than something else, whatever that means.
