Default Black parking lights

Is there any setup that allows me to ditch the Orange bulbs? I have a 2014 so the casing is clear but I would prefer to have a different color than orange. If not, what type of bulb is it so I can try to make my own parking lights?

Have you looked into the switchback led lights? They run 6k blue and when you turn your blinker it switches to amber only while the blinker is on, then goes back to blue. Kinda like the new audi's

Legal way, you are stuck with orange.

Semi legal, you can get ceramic (I think) coated bulbs that with some magic, look one color when turned off, and shine white or amber when turned on. Had a blue car and put blue bulbs in clear corners on there. When powered it would shine the correct color, but when turned off it matched the car a lot better.

Non legal way, stick whatever color you want in there

Black or white would be my two ideal colors. I have a black 4 door

In Virginia they are very strict on lights. If the safety inspector doesn't catch it the state cops will.
