how did you get the DRLs to come on with the headlights but without the turn signal LEDs?
and is your blinker normal?

kinda, see below

btw: how are your headlights on and your corners are not? and then your corners and heads are on?
thanks. i was kinda apprehensive when I saw the black on the ad, but i think it "breaks it up" a lil.

so heres the thing:

Headlight switch OFF = everything off (duh)
Parking lights ONLY = 4 white LED DRLs (take place of the dimmed orange)
headlights ON = headlights on AND 4 DRLs (no orange)
turn signals/emer flasher = 4 DRLs (whether or not the headlight switch is on) and then the normal orange blinks

so in essence, when driving, there is no orange. i dunno whether or not i like that. it may attract attention, so i may splice it up my own way later.

but i will have nighttime pics as soon as the sun sets!!!

time for a new siggY!

ah ok that makes sense. I do like it tho the way its all wired up, with no orange until you turn on your blinkers. looks clean.. but not sure on your laws about driving with no ambers at night...dont think that would be a problem..

Just can't bring myself to really like those man...although they're not ugly lol. I don't like the black trim, but I do like how they look lit up; just not in the daylight.
HIDs look sweet though - I reeeeally need to get me a set for both my heads and fogs.

yeah. at night there are a bunch of truck guys that hang out in town, im going to ride out there for some shots and usually a few cops will stop by (to check for underage drinking) so i may ask one of them. i just hope one isnt a butt hole and gives me a ticket or something when i bring it up

here ya go man:

ahh thats pretty cool theres no amber until you turn the blinker on, although pretty sure that is gonna attract a good amount of attention, definately looks clean tho

thanks alot for the picture!! thats pretty neat how it just plugs in, idk how you would wire it to where the amber is on all the time tho cus i have a feeling it might be programmed into the circuit board or whatever

i wonder if your blinkers would blink fast if you didnt have resistors...

and x2 on the adorable flip flops

you can open them up and put clear silicone instead of the black.... But for the price of another set if you F them up, i would just leave them be.

PS im doing that handle writeup in 97-03 so keep your eyes peeled

well i dont think the cops would ticket you the first time you asked (but how would they know it was your first time). but see what they say and if they have a problem...im sure you will take care of it.

well you can see the three wires. black is ground, white is for the DRLs and the other is for the orange. pretty simple. and there are 2 resistors in there already. i might take mine off and either pack them away somewheres or sell 'em for like $5 altogether

AND DONT MAKE FUN OF MY FLIP FLOPS AND HOBBIT FEET!
