Default 98 Accord, blinker running light disable, how to

Hi All,

I've gone ahead and upgraded my 98 accord headlights to crystal white LED's, they look great so far IMO.

The issue that I am running into is that the colored blinker bulbs are on at all times when the lights are on.
Is there any simple way to disable them as running lights but maintain their function as blinkers and hazards?

Pic related below, and yes I have new headlight assemblies coming in soon. Thank you in advance for any advice you can give.

The socket has three wires, you can cut the Red/Black wire and tape up the wire; you'll disable (lose) the running light.

Hi Tech8,

Just wanted to post a quick thank you. The smoke has finally cleared enough here that I had time to swap out the headlights and cut the wire. Your tip worked well and its going to look great at night.

Thanks again!
