Default How to delete amber running light?

Is it possible to turn off the amber running lights and only have them come on when engaging the turn signal?

You can get some switchbacks.

I just had some cop tell me they were illegal...? Something about too many forward pointing white lights ?

Also I'm looking to replace headlights and fogs with 10k hid and they only make switch backs in 6k. I want all my lights to match - there must be a way to make it so the amber lights aren't ALWAYS on...

I don't understand why they have to be amber - my tail lights flash red for signals. Ill probably just do what you did ... Most LE are too busy to pull someone over for something like that. But I know there is a few code ***** on the force as well.
