Try contacting the HID sellers in the GD section. I think they would be able to do a custom orange HID for you. Wouldn't you burn the bulbs out really quick if you use the blinker a lot? And a ballast for turn signal? C'mon Anyways... good luck on that! And dont forget to get some blinker fluid.

Doesn't sound like a great idea IMO. HID bulbs are not supposed to be turned on and off rapidly like a blinker bulb.

If you just want a brighter orange color then try to fit some bigger, brighter halogen bulbs in there.

hids are not designed for blinking since the gas in the bulbs needs time to activate, so they won't be bright if you use them as blinkers.

I've considered trying to fit some HID bulbs in my parking lights (not turn signals lol....), the superbright LEDs look pretty cool there, I can imagine some HIDs would be fun.
