City Lights
Alright, my headlights are all cracked up, so I went looking for used lights, came across a killer deal on some JDM EG6 lights, they're cheaper than most of the ones I've seen and they have the plastic cover, so they're less prone to crack. Anyways, WTF is a city light? I'm assuming it's like a daytime running lamp? I don't want daytime running lamps so is it possible to not install them? Will there be a hole in the light or what?

Re: City Lights
i believe they are like DRL's. But the bulbs light up yellow. The CTR has em. I'm not sure how they are installed into the headlight housings (drilled in, a separate bulb, or like a dual filament type bulb, etc.).

Re: City Lights
Its my understanding that "city lights" are just those tiny LED lights that are inside the light housing to give the headlight a dim glow during the day and or dusk/dawn. For some cars it actually gives a very cool look. But over all they are useless and I am sure you could just find a gromet to fill the hole that is piloted for them.
I tried to find a good example, but nothing came up.....sorry.

nvm...
This M3 has "city lights". They arent as bright as DRL's, but give a low glow. Kinda pointless, but like i said...some cars look good with them and parking lights on. Your call.

Re: City Lights
just hook them up to your parking lights and they will turn on with your parking lights. The 5th gen prelude has the same thing. This picture is blury, but you can kind of see them on dougs prelude.

Re: City Lights
Put in amber bulbs to match the corner lens. That's what I did with my SI-r lights and on the CTRs. Just connect them to the parking lights, it's just a sidemarker bulb plug in. I'll show you a pic of it as soon as I find one.
