Hey lastnight I got bored and swapped out my sidemarker amber bulbs with my headlight running lights.

This is my setup:
Headlights: Nokya Arctic White H4 Bulbs
Running Lights: Amber Wedge Bulbs
Sidemarkers: Nokya HyperWhite Wedge Bulbs
I also removed the bulbs from my bumper reflectors so they don't light up.
There are a few other ideas I would like to throw out.
1: Swap the two wires on your sidemarkers, so they are always running with the lights on, and shutoff when the turnsignal is activated (they work the opposite way).
2: Swapping your brakelight and turnsignal housings, so your turnsignal circle is your driving/brake lights and your brakelight line is your turnsignal, (tried to do it but bulbs won't swap, you'd have to cut and splice the wires somehow or get a new socket all together).
3: Place a bulb into the vacant housing in your taillights, if anyone has investigated the rear of their taillights you would have found there is an empty spot for a lightbulb, I'm not sure but I think the Type-R uses this little housing for turnsignal, here is a pic:
