I honestly don't know cause I never bought any led 9005 bulbs. But that would be MY best guess as what would work best for you.

u can buy led bulbs called switchbacks. they shine white with park lights on but flash amber/white when the turn signal is used. you would also have to buy an add on to make the bulb flash at the right rate. without it, it would flash like there was no bulb installed due to power outputs of leds being lower than reg bulbs

as for the yolk on the side, i'll soon be masking and tinting that with transparent black base until its gone

Well, I bought a pair of (I think its luminics or however you spell it) super white bulbs (9500) and they still look amber with the DRL's on but not a amber as the stock. But in the reflection of a cars rear bumper in front of me, they look as yellow as stock. I'll put before and after pics to see if you guys can spot a diff.
