    If you're good with electronics, I could get you the schematics to make them go back and forth like knight-rider style. My friend did it for a car show on his front lip spoiler.

    Thats the euro way my friend.

    The bulb socket on the euro turn signal only has two wires: turn and earth. US have 3: turn, parking and earth. Simple way is to take off the harness and remove the cover to expose the 3 wires. Pull the parking wire and tape off. You may have a bulb out indicator if you do this. The best way after this is use this wire to power your city lights.

    Hello,
    In the picture where your headlights are on, it seems as though you have hid's. I'm looking at the picture and I don't see any light on the ground in front of your car. Why is that?
    About your leds, are they from brabus or are they a different companies? Brabus led's seems like they don't come out as blue as yours. Thanks

    break out the multimiter, and find the right resistor to stick in between the LED and the power wire.
