Two color dual filament bulb??

Hey all, I am interested to know if there is an LED bulb (or any type for that matter) that is a dual filament, that when lit in the "not so bright" mode is white, but when on it's brighter cyle is red or orange or yellow.

My i30 now has clear turnsignal lamps (thanks mike), but the bulbs are orange. It is a dual filament bulb, and always stays lit when running lights or headlights are on. Annoying for the orange to fill the clear corners for sure. I would like it to run white, and flash orange, anyone ever heard of any type of bulb that would do this??

Yes there are. Most serious electronics stores will have them. Pretty cheap too, like $1-3 each. Sometimes even like $.50.

There's one not too far away from my place that I visit all the time. It's called Daiwa Electronics, and right next door is a shop called Active Electronics. I'm in Toronto btw.

is it a 1157 type bulb? if not, how difficult would it be to modify it to fit an 1175 socket?

It is not a bulb at all, just raw led's, which is why they are so cheap. However, wiring them up should be very easy. It's just the mounting and light spread that may be concerns.
