    That pic is showing the inside of the plug. The ground wire is on the outside, so when I switch it the fuse blows.

    Lol yeah. The only thing is that the white doesn't shut off when the amber flashes and you can't hardly see it...

    That's how the ones on my friends Chevy are. Some bulbs are just designed like that for whatever reason

    They make stage 1 and stage 2 that I know of
    The stage 1 usually flash white to amber and stage 2 shut the white off and only flash amber

    I would contact where you got them from about them not shutting off although it might be just how the light is
    Most incandescent lights don't actually shut off when blinking just dim so it might be getting constant power on the parking side, not enough current to not with incandescent but enough to keep the LED on

    Makes me wonder if a resistor on the parking light would shut the white off

    I ordered the ones where the white would stay on, but didn't realize it would wash out the amber so bad. I'll live with it for now till I can figure something out, or buy new ones lol
