Lightbulb Orange parking light bulb delete

I have the standard projector headlights in my 99.5 A4. Just installed yellow bulbs for my foglights which of course clashes with the orange parking lights. I want to find a bulb or someway to make the parking lights not show and flash orange only when the turn signal is on. I found chrome look bulbs through ecstuning but they still glow orange when my lights are on. Any suggestions?

You could get those bulbs on ebay for cheap. Or lightly spray yours with a coat of high heat silver paint. You could disconnect the parking light wire if you don't want parking lights?

There is an easy way to make your side only turn on during signals.

Basically when you take it off, there are 2 metals/connectors you will see. Eliminating one of those metal connectors will prevent the light from turning on normally (only when signals are on). The only thing is I don't remember which one to eliminate/cut off.

They are not really parking lights. The are technically driving lights. The turn signals bulbs by law must be orange (amber). You would have to put in clear bulbs, which is illegal. I would do the clear corner mod and get the stealth bulbs for a clean, yet still legal look. I'm planning on doing this mod this weekend. I would not paint them, just spend the money and buy the stealth bulbs from ecstuning. They are currently on sale too.

I have installed the ecstuning stealth bulbs, so obviously they flash orange when the turn signal is on. That's fine. I just don't want the always on orange when my lights are on and the turn signal is off... kriptonik's comment sounds like the best/easiest solution for what I want. Can anyone verify?
