Just fitted these to the front turn signal location, more to come. linky
 
Spacers (2 per light) linky
 
Wiring Harness linky
This is how I wired them up as red running lights is not legal in California.
The yellow is always on as a running light, and the red flashes with the turn signals. Not the best, but that is what I bought.
Wiring: Redone with new turn signals that are white and amber.
Yellow (running light)(turn signal)
Blue (brake light, running light, didn't hook up)
Red (turn signal)(Super bright running light)
Black (ground).

Not sure I like these lights. I don't like the red on the front. I may change them out and just use them for the rear. Note, just changed the lights out to white running lights, and amber turn signals, and redid the instructions.

Why didn't you buy the ones with a white running light for the front like I did? I have posted pics of them before.
Tried to, can't find them. Do you have a link? Found them and reordered. Almost the same, but with white/amber.

Just ordered a set. Always hated the pumpkins, and like the running light feature of these.
Make sure you order LEDs from the second link. You do not want the red running lights on the front like I got. It is fine for the rear.  
Correct Link
 
Here is the wiring for the correct lights. I will tweak the install instructions when I get them to confirm the wiring colors.
 
Specifications for Front Signals w/ Running Light:
Lens Color : Clear
LED Color : Amber and white
Body Color : Black
With 4 Wires
Brown: Running Light (Normal Light)
Red : Running Light (Super Bright)
Yellow: Turn Signal Light
Green : Negative (ground)
 
Specifications for Rear Signals w/ Tail Brake Light
Lens Color : Clear
LED Color : Amber and Red
Body Color : Black
With 4 Wires
Brown : Brake Light
Red : Brake Light (super bright)
Yellow: Turn Signal Light
Green : Negative (ground)

Just got the new turn signals. They are crap. Much smaller than the previous ones, and one white LED is burned out of each one. The white LEDs are so dim, they are useless. I will leave the existing ones on and just swap the yellow turn signal wire with the red and leave the red LEDs off completely. May buy a different type in the future. New turn signals received, and they work fine. Very bright with 12 volts applied, the white at least.

Zach, do you have a link to the non crap ones you used?
I bought mine off of eBay, but definitely paid more than the ones listed above....despite them looking the exact same as the cheaper ones posted above. I didn't search very hard when I bought em, lol. 
Nonetheless, here are the links:

Received my signals in the mail direct from China. Ordered Dec 3rd, not bad. I tested them on a battery and everything works....good for a start. Will post pics when they are mounted.
