That's what I was planning to do when I finally get around to installing the Euro strips.

My tech isn't allowed to do the STAR programming to change me over to RoW (dealership), so I'll have to find someone locally who knows how to do it. There might be a way to simply "hide" the bulbs and wiring behind the splash guards and just leave the settings alone. If I ever got hassled about those missing marker lamps (unlikely) I could swap the impact strips back in and all the wiring would still be intact.

FWIW - I left my bulbs hanging behind the bumper till I finally made time to make the change via SDS. They should be fine back there. They are only 5w, and dont make too much heat.

European auto solutions has a STAR.. You will need star to change the setting. I have yet to change my settings since I did the E63 front end.. It doesnt bother me much.

Other Dennis can code that, and when you get Gary Bumper, the lights are gone anyway.

My bumper is in paint. (Price= $AWESOME DEAL$)

Rest of the parts are scattered around my house
