Corner Lights
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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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
