Default LED parking light bulbs?

I'm upgrading my HID's soon since i have a dead ballast.
I want to take advantage of this to take my lights apart and do the reflector delete and put in some smoked lenses.
I want to replace the lights behind the amber lens with LED's, since the smoked lens won't give me amber turn signals anymore. Yellow for the turn signals and white for the driving lights.

According to 42 Draft design, the parking light bulbs can be replaced with the BAX9 push/turn LED's. Can anyone confirm that this is true and if the turn signal bulbs are the same as the parking lights?
How many of each do I need? From looking at the light it looks like i need 2 turn signal bulbs per light and one parking light?

One turn and one parking per light, and you will get a bulb out indicator as LEDs don't draw enough current. Also, it will be MUCH dimmer than stock, though the color will be nicer.

Do you want your lights to be yellow/orange? I prefer the look of the clear lenses and lights!

allright, I don't want a bulb out light... I thought that only went off for the lowbeams...
@ keefboz: I just want the signals to be amber so they're legal.
is there a yellow version of these bulbs?

You can take the parking light bulb out without getting a warning... i don't have any bulbs in. Turn signal should give you a warning tho.

i am pretty sure you wont get a bulb out warning. If my parking light bulb is dead, i do not get a bulb our warning. But if you do, just hook up a resistor in parallel, and look up the bulb code and go to superbrightleds.com they are supercheap. Haha that was cheesy.

also, if you want to look stealth in the day time and dont mind yellow at night check my lights out in my sig, they are just painted in 2 coats of vht nightshade, the stuff you use on your tail lights. It gives a clean look, no matter day or night.

White is legal in the front, check the DOT.

They are? Is it state dependent or federal regulations?
