Question,

is there any way to disable the front corner lights to only come on while signaling? I hate the way they look apart from my headlights and it would be awesome if there was a way to make them come on when I signal. I remember talking to someone about it, but i forgot who, and he mentioned something about installing a euro harness or whatever to do so. Anyways, anyone just know how? lol

i have the euro plugs u can have. they only activate 1 filament in the bulb. someone posted b4 all american cars came with dbl fillaments.

so like i said u can have my single connectors that came with my new cornors that arrived yesterday.

AMG_Eric

um after further review i only have 1. i threw the other away when i threw away the broken corner.

CDP

is it from the corner lights that you ordered from ImportVision?

I'm not really understanding what these Euro-Plugs are all about. lol

AMG_Eric

yes.

and the diff between american and euro blubs/plugs are that us blubs are dual fillament. so you can have a parking light and blinker on at the same time. the euro ones can only accomodate a bulb with a single fillament thereby you only have a choice of either a p-light or a blinker when either are activated.

chris, you can just test the wires, and clip the one that turns ont he parking lights...

Its not hard. there are 3 wires there, 1 is ground, one is parking lights, and one is for the turn signals... you would have to clip it on both sides.

Alon & Eric, thanks for the help.

Alon, I took out the wire and now everything looks good and works good! thanks!!!

It's funny because I have kinda the opposite problem. I just noticed my RH parking light doesn't come on but the blinker works. Can you help me out to figure out why it is doing that? Will a new bulb do the trick or is it a wiring issue?

NEW bulb should do the trick.

the bulb has 2 filaments, so check if both are still intact.

Thanks guys, you guys wouldn't happen to know off-hand what type of bulb I need in your infinite wisdom, would you?

Chris, post some pics of what it looks like when the lights are on but the corners are not... i wouldn't mind doing this, i just don't want it to look like i have bulbs burnt out...

I did that when I installed my euros, it does look like some bulbs are out. I thought it would be cool to have the full "euro" setup with the 5w city lights instead of corner lights, but after doing it, I don't like it.

I think I'm going to leave the city lights and re-do the running lights so they're both on.

I tried to take some pics, but it's hard to see with so much daylight.

Maybe later.

I'll take pictures and show you when my new corner lights come in the mail.

mgw_300e

ok, here's some pics with the "no corner light" set-up (corners only on when blinking) The ones where the headlights look dim are where the city lights are on and the headlight is off.



I think that covers all variations.

Man you need some white bulbs for your fogs!

mgw_300e

they're supposed to be amber

mouramen

Are they? I think they just look better in white, mine are iqual to the running lights!

The whole point in amber fogs is that white/blue light is hard for your eyes to focus on, and the amber light is much easier to focus on, hence the illusion that you can actually see better with amber fogs.

mgw_300e

no, I mean MY fog bulbs are supposed to be amber. Really they just look like crappy white instead.

how did you get the fogs to match the same color as the running lights? which bulbs are you using?

Brian_I.

I have a bulb with the parking light filament out but the flashing filament works if anyone wants it. Might save you some trouble.

mgw_300e

It's not an illusion. Amber and yellow have little glare and they are easy on your eyes. The whole point of fog lights is that main beams tend to reflect back and blind you in fog or snow (sometimes even rain). The amber light doesn't blind you so you end up seeing better. if you want a real clear example of this, try turning on your high beams next time it's foggy or snowing and see what happens. (be careful)

Good to know cause I was sure gonna change mine till I just heard that

Saijin_Naib

No, the illusion is that the yellow reflects back just as much as the white light, but since our eyes can focus on it and process it better, it appears as if we arent getting the glare. Thats what i meant :x
