well they look like sidemarkers and are in the right spot. They just stay on all the time and they're amber.

after i did my wiring i figured out that its not possible because its a dual fillament bulb in which there are 2 wires along with a ground and if u connect both it creates a short circuit and lights both filaments up all the time so inorder to do that u have to have a relay...so when the parking lights are on the relay turns on and when it flashes the relay releases and turns the side marker off when signals are on

What? No, sidemarker is a single filament bulb. And yes you can make the single filament do both. Just hook one wire to parking lights and the other to signal. Both power wires, no ground. It will work both ways except with signal on AND parking lights the sidemarker will alternately flash with the front signal.
