ok here is what i have ......... a 3 wire 2 color led light , the 3 wires are black being -ground , red being white light , yellow being amber light

if you hook the black to ground and red to +12v the white lights turn on  , same with the yellow wire to +12v the amber lights turn on , but you can not have both the red & yellow hooked up to turn both lights on at the same time they cancel out the other.

if you hook up the red being white lights to +12v the whites are on and if you add the yellow wire to +12v the whites turn off and the ambers turn on .

what i am wanting to do is have the amber lights turn on all the time being the parking/running light and use the white lights as the turn signal lights.      from what i can tell both the red and yellow will have to have +12v supplied to them all the time and the yellow wire will need to loose the +12v to allow the yellows to turn off and the whites to turn on.

 i already have the turn signals wired so i have a +12v output from the turn signal flasher and the parking/running lights are wired with a +12v output ............... so can anyone tell me how you would wire these ..... digrams please

Have a look at circuits for combined stop/flashers (or reverse/flashers outside of America etc).
That involves cutting and swapping connections.

Why not just run a relay? Normally closed does a pass thru and and lights the running light's amber lead, if they're on, and turns switch the output to the white lead on the normally open and turn off the normally closed. Seems simple enough... unless the relay doesn't switch fast enough (might happen with ricer flash?).

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
