    Talking City Lights!

    I finally got my city lights wired up. I say finally because I've had these headlights for 2+ years and just never spent the time to wire up the bulbs. It was literally a 35 min job. I should have had these done upon the initial install!

    I'm really happy with how they came out. I love changing up the little things because it reminds me how much I love this car. So, like the title says, its all in the details.















    Feel free to post pics of your city lights as well.

    Damn. They look great.

    I've been wanting to the city light install them on my E46. Just gotta work up the courage to wire them appropriately to the LCM.

    Looks awesome! Very clean E36. Angel eyes only got worse as civics, denalis, and other people started throwing them onto their cars. Now my LED angel eyes are wired up as indicators and hidden.

    Here's mine with my retrofit:

    I recently did this as well. Only thing different we did was disable the corner lamp. The blinker still functions but the actual parking lamp does not illuminate. Excuse the camera phone picture

    Love this.
    Thank you, I like your setup as well.


    And just so you don't feel bad, I have had the electric motors and interior switch for adjusting the headlights sitting in my garage for almost 2 years now.

    Broken P.O.S.
    I hate city lights so I just cut mine when I installed my ZKWs. The fact that they're always on just irritates me. I've also got clears so what's the point if they just glow orange all the time? Yours look good though and good job finally getting them installed

    City lights are not always on, they come on with the parking lights. Unless you mean DRL.

    plus you can wire a switch for them.

    I prefer them over angel eyes on E36s
