    bypass corner lights

    id like to bypass the corner lights while the headlights are still on, but still have the ability of using the turn signals...any ideas or suggestions?, ive tried to search and found a little bit but id like a simple way to do this, and dont say take the bulbs out...i just think the hids would look better without them on

    Maybe if you didn't run a dual filament bulb? You might have to use some resistors to trick the car into not thinking they're burned out.

    i thought about that, will the dual filament bulb have the same bottom socket as the regular one thats in there now? how would i wire in the resistors just inline from the wires coming out of the back of the corner housing?

    Just a thought but those 8000ks are already going to get a second look from the cops, lack of corner lights is just going to give them an added reason to pull you over.
