DIY: E36 $10 City Lights

you need to unwire the corner markers the EURO models corners don't actually light up as "parking lights"

You can just put electrical tape on the contacts on the back of the bulb to test it out. Or you could leave them like that (what I did)

Or just buy a switch from germany, and wire the rear fog button to turn the city lights on and off...

I like being able to turn mine off, since i have blue lights, orange corners, and yellow fogs, its a bit of a color rainbow with the city lights on

looks good CJ, now when you get DEPO's you'll already have 194 bulbs lol

I actually was thinking about doing this, but I'll probably just run a generic switch next to the dimmer.

Dude i payed 8 bucks shipped for my euro fog switch, do it all classy like and not with generic stuffs

i was on the german ebay like ebay.de or something.

Nice. Thanks for letting me know. I'll definitely check that out.
