Default disable drls? switchback issues

I've had some switchback bulbs in my TA for a few days now and i'm having some problems with them. They are supposed to be white except when the turn signal is on, then they flash amber. For some reason they tend to stay amber when the lights are off or only the parking lights are on. Once the headlights pop up, they function normally and remain white.

I'm assuming the bright/dim wiring is somehow screwy and the best workaround would be to disable the "drl" function of the turn signals so they ALWAYS function as if the headlights were up.

Does anyone know how this could be done?

Thanks

i have em in my car, i did the DRL mod, and they work fine. i tend to see that the amber doesnt really work very well when the white is on, ie at night the turn signal isnt very bright. hit me up if you have problems

i just had the same problem, i was under the impression that they were going to be white and only blink amber. i just ordered some all white ones, and i'm returning the switchbacks.

they'll blink white, but oh well.
