Switchback question

:
Mazda CX-5 AWD Touring
Do all switchbacks for the cx5 blink pattern when parking lights are on go yellow white yellow white instead of yellow off yellow off? My wife's 3 switchbacks blink pattern when the parking lights are on is yellow off yellow off but I also know the cx5 normal blink pattern with parking lights in is bright dim bright dim

mine is white LED for parking light, yellow on / off (no white LED during turns) see video and link

I think the pattern depends on the LED bulb you buy, some alternate between white and yellow during turns which I don't want, I just want yellow on/off, no white , after turn is completed it "switchback" to white LED for parking lights. see photos in link below.

these are the ones I got http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-1157-1004-High-Power-5730-Switchback-LED-AMBER-WHITE-Turn-Signal-Light-/231616765854?hash=item35ed6f5f9e:g:97sAAOSwol5Yz3H C&vxp=mtr

you need to add load resistors otherwise they flash twice as fast a.k.a "hyperflashing"
