Do you mean the front side markers? What would you like? I personally hate the amber, and prefer either white or smoked. Mine are smoked with smoked Lamin-x on them and have amber bulbs inside.

mine did that for about 2weeks, before finally giving up, you will need a new bulb in the end...

ah, the problem is I'm not sure if it was the full beam light or the side light.
I've ordered some sidelights so far, i will probably order the full beam bulbs too.
