If you want to stand out, add a bumper sticker or curb feelers, I'm tired of squinting while driving at night. (It is fun to vent!)

Hey Tim,
The extra bulbs in mine are very dim and only serve to make the headlights "glow" slightly when just the fogs are on. Just like the ones that come standard (w124 euros) in the fogs that make them glow when just the headlights are on. Just for looks, and my own safety so people see me , wouldn't effect anyone elses vision.

The Hella driving lights you see under the bumper in my avatar are a different thing entirely! Blind the hella out of anyone, but I only use them at night w/ the highbeams on country roads (and never on the freeway, unless I'm in Montana or the desert somewhere ).

I believe that ccooper is just trying to find a way to get his headlights to come on when the car is running. Nothing more or less. Just trying to avoid tickets and bee seen, so he doesn't pull a James Dean....
