I must be retarted

Is it possible to turn on the main headlamps without turing on the smaller ones?

But you'll get the bad bulb warning. Replace the bulbs with leds, at least it'll look cool.

They do look rather nice, but get the ones from UltraLEDS.com they are my favorite.

nah we have the old one where it just says bulb malfunction or whatever but it doesnt give a specific spot like how it does in the newer mb's, ie. front right parking light or rear left brake light, etc.

Ya same here. Its like fastening my seat belt. I get it turn the car on, hit the info button, fasten up and drive. If this set of LEDs burns out though, I'm not going to use mine anymore. I'm not spending anymore money on lights. So if you dont want city lights, is it okay to have nothing in there. I mean is the dust buildup or anything bad??

Regardless, you'll still have the screw in connecter sealing the headlight and the housing cap sealing everything.
