    Angel Eye Wiring?

    Hey guys!
    I've had my e36 for around half a year now and I want to fix the janky wiring in it that the old owner had put in. It's got Umnitza Predator Chromium Angel eyes and for some reason they're wired into the 12 volt coming from the fog lights. So to turn my angel eyes I have to put my light switch into the second position, which I'm not sure if it's totally correct. I've heard that you can tap into fuse 46 for them to work at all times, separate from anything related to light switches.

    So my question is, whats the correct way to wire in angel eyes, or at least what's the ways that you guys have done them? Thanks for the help in advance!

    Ive got mine wired the same way as yours. I turn the switch to the parking light position for the Angel eyes to come on also. I think this is how most people do it. I wouldn't want them to run all the time.

    What wire or fuse did you tap into for that?

    Mine are wired into the corner lights, so they come on with the 1st and second position of the light switch.

    Here are the pics, apparently the washer switch must complete the ground side of the washer circuit or else the angel eyes would only come on with the washers. Looks like a purple wire.
