Turn Signal light change mod?

I was driving a few days ago and I saw a new Accord Coupe with a nice light setup. When driving his turn signals were bright white, almost like a 5000k-6000k shade. When he used the turn signal, the light would change to amber. So it looked like it was changing colors from white to amber. After he turned off the signal light, it stayed white again.

Any idea on how I can do something like this with 4g TL?

I would like the front turn signal on the bumper to stay white and then turn amber when in use.

Theyre called switchback LED's cause they switch back from white to amber.

Do you guys think it would look good on 4GTL?

Now that I know it's called switchback I found a link of a 3G with this.

This mod is definitely happening soon.

Does anyone know if this would be pnp with the 4g? Do I have to change the fuse at all?

I have these. But when I installed resistors it still hyper-flashed. Bought the electronic flasher there's no relay for it. Its a whole turn signal unit. I still have it on but it hyper-flashes.

I believe this was done on the 4G already - can't find the thread, I think buckvegas did it.

If I remember correctly, you need to install resistors to make sure that it does not hyperblink.

Switchbacks in 3G TLs are a dime a dozen. They're not really 100% reliable though. They're kind of fussy and don't last for that long.
